Ang daming brands, names etc. ngayon na nakakalito ang tamang pronunciation. Like:

Sbarro = SA-BA-RO

Ralph Lauren = Ralph LO-REN

tama ba? ano pa kaya?

here are some, (AFAIK lang, correct me if im wrong hehe):

Yves Saint Laurent - eves san lauran with a nasal ending.

Marithe Francois Girbaud - Marithey Franswa Jerbow
Lanvin - Lan-Van

dito ko nalilito : Givenchy - some say its G-ven-shey while some naman Jee-van-shee. ano ba talaga? hehe!

ano pa ba? isip pa ko ng mga common na mali ang pronunciation.

Ensembles - if i'm not mistaken, it's "en-sum"

food naman::

bologna (bologna sausage)-- boh-luh-nee
bolognese-- boh-luh-neez

an episode of GG Lily Van der Woodsen said:: Bo-lo-nye-sey instead of boh-luh-neez

tama ba yun?

something i hear mispronounced quite often:

flammable is with a short a (flahm-mable)

it's not like flame, which is with a long a (fleym).

sa office i got confused when i was just starting out. took a while for me to get used to the british accent because they pronounce words in a different way.

example: schedule - normally pronounced as "ske-jul" but the brits pronounce it "she-jul".

sauce = sos ( with o shape sa mouth)

yun iba kasi.. sows hehe..

di ko alam kung sosyal lang sila o ano eh..

thanks for this. i'm guilty in pronouncing this with a long a.
