Though I do have to agree that "Buh-hum-utt" sounds better.
Ditto, though I was aware of the "correct" pronunciation.
As said in the other thread, I always said May-koh as well, so I'm okay with it.
Really, I'm never gonna begrudge anyone who mispronounces something by saying it the way an American/English/Insert-your-origin kid with no real knowledge of Japanese would say it. Because that's how most of us played it, how could expect someone to know how it would be pronounced in Japanese?
As such - I know it is You-fee, but I won't hold it against someone for saying Yuh-fee. That's how it's spelled! In fact, I'm amazed how many people said it 'correctly' by accident. Why would it not rhyme with "puffy" or "Buffy," would the 'ie really make that much of a difference.
Likewise, I
will give someone a hard time for "Tiffa."
