Hard to say Brand Names



http://www.businessinsider.com/hard-to-pronounce-brands-2012-5

So how many did you actually pronounce accurately? With this, you can correct your fellow friend when they're pronouncing it wrong! (There is a flash with sound each page after the brand so you can hear the proper pronunciation.)

Gyro (is Yee-Roh, or Ji-Roh?)

Something makes me think not everything there is correct. Out of that, you can't really know how to pronounce something if you don't know the country which is coming from, for example French companies will most likely have their pronunciation instead of an English one.

Through all the differences it is still perfection.

I was sure they asked the companies themselves on how to pronounce the names.
