Once upon a time, Guy Gorton wrote:

Tourists and natives alike are asked in this country to pronounce the
new name for Abbey as San-tan-daire. I asked the staff whether they
would look at the cal-en-daire on the wall, and whether I could
ten-daire a 5 pound note. Sensible answers were prohibited by
management.

The French kitchen equipment company Moulinex (which mum always said
should be pronounced "Moliknow") actually ran adverts where they
pronounced it "Moon-li-nex", because that was how most UK people said
it.

Ditto Peugeot calling themselves "Perr-jo".

Sometimes it's just easier to accept that the natives of one country
will never learn to pronounce "foreign" words correctly, though it must
surely make people from the original country cringe to hear it.
