  1.  @SomethingElseToo  No. The reason he should (not have to) apologize is simple. Iran is a proper noun - a name. When you mispronounce someone’s name and they correct you, do you keep mispronouncing it and saying, “whatever, it’s my accent” or do you say, “sorry” and try to pronounce it correctly? Besides, there is no English word that starts with an “i” that’s pronounced “eye” except for the letter itself: information, indigo, irrelevant, image, etc. And that’s with ANY accent. It’s just basic English.

  2. Ryan… you’re wrong on the Iran pronunciation thing, buddy. It has NOTHING to do with your accent either. You just learned to pronounce it wrong. In every word in English that starts with an I, the letter is pronounced as “ee”. Example: information, indigo, irrelevant, input, etc. Iran is a proper name. It should be pronounced as intended. We don’t call you Reeean, even after you correct us, and blame it on an accent. It’s a simple matter of proper reading and respect. Passaic Co here, btw. After all, there’s no “Eyendia” or “Eyesrael”, right?
