Comments by "EasyGameEh" (@EasyGameEh) on "Stop Saying Linus Torvalds Wrong" video.
the only reason linus accepts its english pronounciation is a general inability of native english speakers (mainly americans) to wrap their heads around anything but their own languade with their own rules. like i even saw a video where some pedestrians in the us couldn't pronounce surname peña. europeans are often more versatile and can get a clue. for many of obvious historical and cultural reasons. even the brits.

@BrodieRobertson fine it is, but the comparison with japanese is incorrect. americans can easily pronounce linus, délacroix and peña in any way including the original. it's a matter of will and effort rather than the technical ability itself.
