I’m from a region of the us that is known as being accent neutral. as such we are home to lots of call centers also as a result we pronounce things according to proper pronunciation. except we are split 50/50 on soda and pop. which basically means 50% of my region are slightly retarded.. I hate when people call it pop..

THAT DIDN'T HELP :)
I don't know why, but Hyundai really seems to confuse people. I've heard stuff like High-unduh, High-undoo, Hyndoo... I'm kind of lost where "ai" becomes a "u".

Hyndoo? Ha! I get “Hiyun-” or “Hun-” but the “ai” to a “u” seems a a bit of a stretch. Oh, and Es-ka-laid.
