of variations but it should be Kwame
Huawei there are lots of articles
floating around saying it should be why
away or why way but it should be
Huawei Kwai away 1 billion people are
probably laughing at me right now the
next one I’m sure you’ve heard of this
brand it should be pronounced Adobe
Adobe however I’ve heard many variations
especially with the magic e on the end
Adobe Adobe a DAB a honestly a debate
kind of cool they should consider a
rebrand the next one the Swedish
furniture giant it should be pronounced
IKEA IKEA however in England we call it
IKEA the next one if you’re really posh
you have a washing machine and a
dishwasher from this brand it’s a German
brand it’s the founder surname and it
should be pronounced Mila Mila not me la
or me la as I’ve been saying it the next
one’s that gorgeous watch brand it
should be Tag Heuer Tag Heuer the next
one another German brand it should be
Bosh Bosh the next one number 7
I have very happy memories of playing
these games as a kid
it’s a Japanese brand and it should be
Sega
Sega I always thought it was Sega wrong
the next brand this one definitely
shocked me it should be pronounced a zu
s– a zu s– not Asus a zu s– the next
one a Korean brand one of Apple’s
biggest competitors it should be
pronounced Samsung Samsung not Samsung
as we pronounce it in Britain the next
one a Japanese brand this one is named
after the founder and it should be
Cassio Cassio but most people do
pronounce it Casio and then the last one
