Linkin Park - Faint

....I, am, a little bit insecure, a little unconfident,
Cause you don't understand or do what I can but sometimes I don't make sense,
I, am, what you never wanna say, but I've never had a doubt,
It's like no matter what I do, I can't convince you for once just to hear me out,
So, I, let go, watching you, turn your back like you always do,
Face away and pretend that I'm not,
But I'll be here 'cause you're all that I've got.....

What application do you always install on your computer and recommend to everyone?

In this thread: everyone misspells AutoHotkey as "Auto-hotkey".

Why is it so hard to spell?
1) look at the url
2) look at the logo
3) look at the headers on site and forum
4) look at the first/welcome page in the docs

it's "AutoHotkey".
Lowercase "k". Hotkey is one word
No hyphens
No spaces
The abbreviation is all caps because that's how abbreviations work. "AHK"
rawr. fear me.

"Auto-hotkey: Scripting engine for your computer. Make scripts that run on certain keys (eg, setting up media controls. Free, and fairly powerful."

"fairly powerful" Really...

AHK is neither an acronym or an initialism of AutoHotkey. If it were, we would just use A or best case, AH. AHK is an initialism of selected syllables in the word AutoHotkey. "A"uto-"H"ot-"K"ey. It's easy to remember and it easily attaches to the word "AutoHotkey". It is however, rarely spoken. I can say "IBM" all day long but try to say "AHK" a bunch of times. It's just easier to say "AutoHotkey". Them be my thoughts.

That always depends on the language your speaking.
I pronounce it similar to A-Ha-Ka.

I pronounce AHK as:
Ahh k (as in car)
or the name "Achmed" minus "med"
or "octagon" minus "tagon"
or simply each letter (bit longer to say). aye h kay
