> LEGAL NOTICE: Any intentional mispronunciation of Cex.C or cexy$ (build system), officially pronounced /ˈtsɛk.si/ ("tsek-see"), into an incorrect form may be considered intentional tseksual harassment of the project — which identifies itself with the code gender (it/its) — and may be subject to legal action under the MIT License. /LOL/
