Hello,
let's make an example: "Sea" in English is pronounced like "see" and not like "see-a" as in many other languages. How do people when they speak English pronounce this "ea" in words that are not English like f.ex "imea". Imea is completely made up, so don't look for some meaning in it ;-). Do people realize that this is not an English word and pronounce it like "imee-a" or do they just stick to their idiom and pronounce it like "imee"?
It is about knowing whether company or product names would also work in English speaking countries.
Thank you, Bienlein
