I would like to know how this word - PROFIADS ("profi" + "ads" combined) - is pronounced in English. I checked with Google Translate - translate.google.com/#en/en/profiads - but I'm not sure if this is how people really pronounce it.

It's a made-up portmanteau word, so the pronunciation is not fixed, but I would say /prɒfi:ædz/

Made up, and - indeed - gruesome;-) When you see 'words' like this, count your spoons!

This is how I also thought that will sound. Now I have the confirmation :) Thank you Tdol!
