That was clever.
Admitting you have a problem is the first step in figuring out how to make it worse.

The Khaak pronounciation phenomenon is restricted to a small minority of accents, which either pronounce a slang term for male genitalia in a particularly accented way, or say Khaak in one. Those that came up with the name are almost certainly not of one of those particularly-accented people.

For most people it's Khaak, as in Khaki, a fabric of a certain colour.

Rumour has it that "X²: The Threat" was originally "X²: The Khaak Threat", until someone English pointed out that the title meant "X²: The not-very-good, a-bit-rubbish-really Threat".

Well think of a female voice saying khaak with the a pronounced like o in ought :o If you dont have the verbose voice turned off in Khaak sectors in X3 that can get quite disturbing........
I'll admit that I may be wrong, but I'm pretty damn sure I'm right.

It'd sound like "cork", a bung you shove in the end of a wine bottle :?
