Help[Opinions] Hmm.
in reply to a message by Array
That's a difficult question, requiring a lot of thought.
On one hand, I find it slightly pretentious and very arrogant when people do that. On the other hand, I know you wouldn't be that way, you're going in with a respect of the culture and the name, and are upset that you can't pronounce it right. You're not proclaiming from the hilltops that the way you're pronouncing makes sense, the way that they do it (or spell) it doesn't - which I find obnoxious as well as arrogant.
I think what I'm trying to say is that you would do your best to keep the integrity of the name, despite the difference in pronunciation, and I think it's okay.
