You can also try calling Adobe customer service and asking them, instead of arguing here. (800) 833-6687

I called McAfee for that reason, after hearing someone say mc-AFF-ee too many times.

As for Linux, I simply disagree with almost every argument here in favor of lie-nucks. Definitely the pronunciation given by Linus himself is best, with a very slight modification from the Scandinavian accent. I can’t understand why there was ever a large number of people who thought otherwise.

I’m not a linguist, but I do have an English degree and above-average pronunciation, and lie-nucks drives me crazy. I suspect the Anglo pronunciation of Linus isn’t any more correct anyway (maybe a Greek-speaker could clear it up better).

Linus: from the Greek, meaning flax(en)

Linus is taken from the refrain ai-linon, or “woe is me”

From the Greek name Λινος (Linos) lee’-nos

Pronunciation button available here — #3044 (although my speaker connection doesn’t seem to work at the moment)

Well, why do people always say “to-ki-yo” when it’s phonetically spelled and pronounced “Tokyo”?

As for names, in Denmark they pronounce mine “kaahn” like Genghis Khan – or James Caan. Daniel’s right – you make adjustments for your audience.

So, really, who originally invented Adobe and is the author, like Linux, adamant that it be pronounced in this arabic/spanish/egyptian way??

Lazy Bastard, did you mean that Adobe was pronounced ah-doh-bee in arabic pronounciation of english?

In english, the “e” sound is silent like in “probe”. Unless there is a y or i in the word, the name is pronounced with no y or i sounds. If this is the case, the English pronounciatiaton of Adobe is in fact, “Ah-dobe”, not “ah-doh-bee” unless you’re talking arabic context.
