Common Mispronunciation: “ah-seu-ss” “ace-us”.
ASUS is actually the 4th biggest PC vendor, makes excellent motherboards, and has a rather hard name to pronounce.
Oddly enough, I’ve heard many people mispronounce meme, which blows my mind.
They are those images with white or black text on the top and bottom, often saying something funny, plastered on social media and in your message threads daily.
And while the company doesn’t offer a lot of devices stateside, it’s popular enough that many people know the brand but still pronounce it wrong.
Hugo Barra, the vice-president of Android product management at Google, left the search giant in 2013 and joined Xiaomi, even though he stepped down in 2017. Plus, IKEA is a common name I hear pronounced wrong constantly. While IKEA isn’t necessarily a tech term, the company is doing a lot with tech these days, and it even sells a desk with Qi wireless charging built right in.
