   @urbanfoxe I just want uniformity, whatever pronunciation is chosen.

     We can't even agree on the pronunciation of words from countries that use the same Latin alphabet. We're never going to agree on the pronunciation of words that use a different ones.

     Notre Dame
     Samhain
     Lima

     Just to name three off the top of my head!

     @deirdrebeth There is disagreement about the pronunciation of Notre Dame? 😱

     100%

     There's a university in the US that pronounces it completely differently than the cathedral in France, so depending on where you heard it first...
