[OT]Silly weekend LC poll

[J. Landman Gay]

I say them as you do, because they are the first part of words that have 
a known pronounciation. Saying "lock" instead of "loke" is particularly 
confusing because "lock" is a keyword with an entirely different meaning.

For those who say "lock" instead of "loke", how do you say "lockLoc"? 
"Locklock"?
