Since I'm being so damn contrarian this evening I figure I'll add one more. The problem with the whole debate about pronunciation is language is quite flexible. Many of the bike companies we discuss here are named after families and one of interesting things about family names is that don't always follow simple grammatical rules. One of the first rules you learn in any language class is that it's not as important to get the word exactly right but to make yourself understood. The pronunciation debate is one of those things that comes up every couple months and it really doesn't need to become a big debate. As Billy B. said "Language is a virus."
