Don't you mean "OS X 10.10.4 and ... OS X 10.10.5 Yosemite"? Nope. OS X 10.10.4 etc. is redundant. The name of Apple's operating system for the Mac is pronounced "OS Ten" the X is "ten", as in Roman numeral Ten. It's also a visual pun on UniX and NeXT.
- El Capitan will be OS X.11
- Yosemite is OS X.10
- Mavericks was OS X.9
- Mountain Lion was OS X.8
- Lion was OS X.7
- Snow Leopard was OS X.6
- Leopard was OS X.5
- Tiger was OS X.4
- Panther was OS X.3
- Jaguar was OS X.2
- Puma was OS X.1
- Cheetah was OS X
That are all called OS X, OS "TEN". . . but, it's never pronounced OS "EKS".

It may not be an approved pronunciation, but I guarantee you that it is pronounced OH-ESS-EKS all of the time!

Another sign of a cult. Inventing your own secret language.
