In our generation, different brands from all across the globe are slowly emerging from time to time. Some brands are already existent from the time we are not yet here while some are just new. A lot of brands have different pronunciations from the way it is spelled mainly because it was born in a different land – it bears a different language. It is not new when we hear a person mistakenly pronouncing a name of brand and is not fully aware of it.
