I get this all the time.

I'll be getting gas, and someone will come up and walk around the car and say "Wow, beautiful car! What kind of toyota is it?"

Best one i Get is people see me gas up, walk up and ask do i have a Turbo on my 4 Banger in there :nono:

Or Cool Looking "Probe" :3d_frown:

It's TAYN.

Pronounce the TE as if you were Japanese and you were saying Technical [TEH] and IN [EEN], saying "Innovation".

TEchnical INnovation.

 

[bobiseverywhere]

Ah Drunk Medic has it down pat

 

[RazoE]

Why do people try to pronounce Japanese parts in "perfect" Japanese?

The English language takes a word and converts it into English..

Do we call Germans, "Deutsch's" ..? No, we call them GERMANS...

You speak English, use it..

 

[bobiseverywhere]

so then what would we call them?

English is just an amalgamation of French, German, Greek and other languages. We like to call it a language of our own but its just a bastardize version of so many other things

 

[RazoE]

exactly, so it's pointless to try to pronounce it exactly the way it's pronounced in it's original language...

 

[bobiseverywhere]

LMAO

 

[kongykongfoomonk]

Yo, I say WTF and BTW in real life...well I say WTF*ck more than anyhtign but thats beside the point. BTW I say because i think its funny.

...I'm Ready
:flamed:
Go ahead

 

[ross1]

i always pronounced tein like it was german tine

ross

 

[Jeff Lange]

LMAO

Almost all modern languages have their roots in other languages. English does like to steal pronunciations from other languages though, which makes us have all sorts of goofy rules.

It is Ilene, come on.

 

[madseacow]

and how about airline food amirite? people put an I in gracer because I before e. Pronounciation of foriegn words is pretty difficult when you've only seen it written and even then your brain wants to put it into farmiliar context causing a sort of pseudo dyslexia. but there is no excuse for speaking "leet" in everyday life "I believe you might get your ass whupped for saying something like that around here" ~ office space

 

[Ish]

What about Bomex. I've heard some say it like BOMB-EX and BO-MEX.
