I can imagine people trying to pronounce this on launch day:
"Yo-se-ta-me, Yo-se-mite, Yose-mite, Yose-ma-tee"
"Yo-se-ta-me, Yo-se-mite, Yose-mite, Yose-ma-tee"
I know Yosemite (yo-sam-ee-tee) from 80s TV movies. I associate it with an old white-bearded grumpy man living in a cabin. 
Still some to come. Guess you missed last year's announcement that they switched the naming for "OS X" to avoid Sea Lion.
Again with "getting a flatter look"!!
I'm getting tired of everything going flat... like the iPhone...
Also don't call it Yosemite. Microsoft is always banging on about Yosemite. The happy family holiday cliche iPhoto stuff is copying them enough already

Maybe they're saying you'll want to throw yourself off a cliff when you see the new OS X design.
Suing each other over everything is another american habit, foreigners couldn't care less about. As an international brand, you don't want to become associated with wherever you come from. If you are Apple, you want to be known for coming from some mythical place called One Infinite Loop. Where the magic Apple tree grows. Everything else is just destroying brand value.
not if you are german / spanish
almost all letters r pronounced differently like the english "e" is "i" in german and the english "i" is "e" in german but thats getting too OT nowedit: oops missed the "not" in your sentence

El Capitan was the name for one of the Power Macs from the early 2000s. Can't remember which one. Probably one of the Power Mac G4s, but my memory's not that great.
Heaven forbid all the Spanish speaking countries trying to pronounce El Capitan. /s
'El Capitan' was the name given to the iconic case first used for the Blue and White G3 'Yosemite'.
With every OS X update do they just add code on top of code or do they clear out a lot of dead or extraneous material to keep things neat and tidy?
Microsoft did the former which resulted in severe bloat by the time of Vista; 7 mitigated a lot of that of course.
I'm just curious how much Apple adheres to the Unix philosophy. I suppose if they do keep closely to it then it would be elementary to maintain the code regardless of updates but I'm not a developer merely an enthusiast. It'd be interesting to get someone's view who knows the inner workings of OS X as opposed to the GUI.
