That’s how English people pronounce it, because English lacks the “ch” sound in most dialects.
Greeks pronounce it as “chee”, where the “ch” is pronounced more like the Scottish “loch” or the X in “LaTeX”. It’s not pronounced with a hard ‘K’. Still doesn’t really work for the “shemale” joke though, but a but closer I suppose.
Is this the greek X? Because then it would be Chi-Mail (aka Shemale)
The X is pronounced “twitter.”
That’s not how that’s pronounced in Greek. It’s just like Kai in Cobra Kai. Or the first syllable of the name Kyle.

All of the pronounciation videos beg to differ

You’re 100% right and I would normally die on that hill right alongside you, but if it triggers the chuds, just this once, I’m on team “chee”.
He is 100% wrong. Thats not how you pronounce it in Greek. Kai is how english people pronounce the greek X, but greeks pronounce it as Chi.

Well then that’s even better!
KyleMail would be a much better domain than xmail tbh. Especially if your name isn’t Kyle. ESPECIALLY if you don’t even KNOW anyone named Kyle 😁
