Doesn't mean a whole lot to ask this now, but recently when I talk to friends about Mt Gox going under, I refer to it as "Em tee Gox", while most people I speak to in person call it "Mount Gox".

I always read it as EM TEE GOX - am I alone?

By the end of next month at the latest we will have permanently left behind 3 digits. You can quote me on this.

I've always pronounced it Mount Gox.

However, once it became clear that they were experiencing significant issues in having enough money and bitcoins on hand to cover their obligations, the Em Tee Gox (sounds like "Empty Gox"), became a lot more fun to say.

As it was originally M.T.G.O.X. = Magic The Gathering Online eXchange  

So saying M.T./eM-Tee is probably more accurate than saying Mt./Mount  Tongue
