Yeah, since it's his name, I believe that's more accurate than the 'American' way. PseudoDragon Send a noteboard - 06/03/2017 06:14:32 AM

They also pronounce 'Adidas' differently from North Americans, but I suspect their way is more accurate to what it should be.

Then again, the English have a longer history of butchering pronunciations than even Americans

That being said, I know Adidas is from Adi Dassler's name, so I'm guessing they pronounce it accordingly?
