It does mean they are wrong if they don't though. Like if I meet someone child called Jean or Seán I wouldn't just call him John, or totally ignore how they are meant to be pronounced and go with how I read it, I'd go with how the parent pronounces it.

Those two names are pronounced differently, ya know.

In French they're both pronounced the same.

Seán is a name originating in the Irish language. It is the Irish equivalent of the French Jean.

 

[Sausage Head]

Seán O'Jean.

I know you're trying to be funny, but that didn't even make sense.

If the thread was "How should Linux be pronounced if Linus has his way?", maybe.

Besides, I use a long I in "Linus" anyway. Like Charlie Brown.

 

[Haloman800]

The correct way is just as it is spelled; Linux (lin-x).

 

[alidsl]

Line-ux

Thing is, as I elongate vowels it's spelt and pronounced the way I said it earlier, for me.
