For decades in the UK they've marketed themselves as "high-un-die". Now for some reason they want us to pronounce it slightly differently. I can't help but feel this is merely a cost saving measure so they can use the same ads here as they do elsewhere. Why does it matter how a different country pronounces a foreign word?
- neom 3y agoI doubted you, for that I offer my apologies. https://youtu.be/n5j1UdLM2Pg https://youtu.be/n5j1UdLM2Pg Now it looks like they want you to pronounce it the Korean way? https://youtu.be/8peKcSEDFB4 https://youtu.be/8peKcSEDFB4 This ad is hilarious, why the f did they advertise it in such a weird way before?! I live in Korea and hear it pronounce the Korea way all the time. Frankly, had I known this was their marketing abroad, I'd never have complained. Thanks for sharing! :)
