Bug Description

Speakers of American English would guess the pronunciation correctly if you used the alternate romanization, "fu-hsi", offered on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuxi .

However, similarity to a common misspelling/obsfuscation of the word "fuck" (see http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Fuxing etc) causes people to read the x in the project name as a "k" sound rather than a "ch" (see http://www.elearnenglishlanguage.com/blog/learn-english/pronunciation/x/).
