On pronouncing "Wacom"

I recall that the pronunciation of “Wacom” has been discussed on the show more than once, including recently so I wanted to share this video by Aaron that will hopefully clarify that debate: How to Pronounce Wacom - a Former Employee Shares - YouTube

Full Disclosure: I know Aaron personally but sharing this here was my own idea.

I’m still going to say “way-com” because the supposedly correct way doesn’t make sense in my brain.

Also still tend to say a hard G on gif - Jif sounds more like a peanut butter and I can’t do it…

I have always pronounced it similarly.

Wok- Ohmmmm
