F355 Turbocharged October 3, 2014 Share October 3, 2014 (edited) IMO nothing to be ashamed off if we pronounced it wrongly , as we would have tried to pronounce them in English when in actual fact the "correct" pronounciation is actually French , German or Italian. Same as how Westerners pronounce Chinese name " incorrectly " . But FA-LA-LI , MAR-SEE-LEE and LOLEK are no nos .
