People actually pronounce it "Roks"?

I say "row" as of now, but I hear different things. So what is the right way?

Oh, man... Seriously, did you guys go to school? ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! It is ROO. Like KangaROO. Sorry, I hate it when people pronouce things completely off. Just look at the spelling. Just because it is a foreign name doesn't mean you have to add your own sounds to it. Just like when people call my dad asking for mister "Chang" or "Chain." It is spelled C-H-A-N. There are no extra letters. It is CHAN just like Roux is ROUX. Period.
Okay, back to your regularly scheduled program.
I agree that this is too many moves. It is good to use when it flows nicely with the rest of your F2L just like LL orientation control where you only use it when it flows nicely or use it when you finished your F2L extremely fast. Trying to avoid being a Fridrich clone just for the sake of trying to be different is not always good. You have to use the method that feels right to YOU. You should not choose a different method just because someone else says so. Like I am learning a bit of Waterman - no one uses it really but that is not the reason why I want to learn it. I just want to try something new and interesting. I find Waterman to be a pretty unique corners-first method. I am not planning on using it in competition speed-solving though
because, for me, Fridrich is the method I am most comfortable with in speedsolving. Don't try to be different just for the sake of being different. Do what you like and don't bother listening to someone else unless you really feel like it is the right thing to do - even if that someone is Lucas(don't worry I am not getting mad at you, Lucas, for encouraging people to be unique).
