They released a joke video, as evident by the singing and the fact the kids still said it "wrong" at the end. I think they are very aware and understand that people will still call them Soos.

I live in a place where people call things whatever they want to call things, and when enough people call that thing by that pronunciation for long enough than it becomes the default pronunciation. Which is exactly the same as where you live.

IKEA in North America pronounces it I-Key-Ah in their commercials. That's directly from the company itself. If they are OK with accepting the different pronunciation of their own name, then why am I expected to say it the European way? That goes for Suse and Asus as well, since they've been called Soos and Ace-sus for years before they decided to "correct" everyone.

Non-Anglophone countries are free to exist and are free to pronounce things however they want. I would be looked at as if I had two heads if I pronounced those things like those non-Anglophone countries. It's about not wanting to be treated like I'm a idiot just for pronouncing things the "proper" way.

I don't care. It's Soos. It's Ace-SUS, not Ah-soos. It's I-Key-Ah, not E-Kay-Ah. These are the way everyone around me says these things for as long as I can remember.

Nice...avoid the ban on importing trophies, hunt them locally instead!

Generating a report using Excel as a format is a lot different from using Excel as a database.

Simmons is not involved and didn't give permission, but it sounds like they are doing it anyways.

No, the biopic is going to be something else.

FTA:

The biopic follows an unrelated short film about Simmons from director and writer Jake Lewis.

Living. Unlike Mozart at that age. You're doing fine. Just keep shining on...

That's how social media was invented. I remember when computers were things that only geeks and nerds were into. And then Neverending September happened, and suddenly normies were everywhere on the internet. We create something new to congregate, and they just invite themselves in after we make it popular. MySpace, Facebook, Reddit...even IRC and Geocities were taken over by them. We eventually took back Usenet at least, but only because it stopped being free for most people.
