We all know that Nikon is “Knee-kon” and not “N-eye-kon”.

And that there is no “eee” at the end of “Nyke”.

hut what about Fodjy (Or fudge-he)? I heard people say Foo-djee... I prefer fudge-he. What about you?
 
Fo Ma
 
Fujifilm.

Or foo gee

But speaking as someone with a largely unpronounceable surname** thanks to an illiterate Civil War era Union officer, there are so many other things to get bent out of shape about. As commonly stated, "we'll answer to anything close-- including a long pause".

** It's not that bad, but it causes people's brains to lock up.
 
Fodji
 
Ko-Dak!

foo-jee
 
It's pronounced FOO GEE. If you want to get technical, both syllables receive the same stress, and both sounds are short. Japanese F sound is softer than English F. Think of it as a cross between F and W. That ends today's lesson. Tomorrow we'll tackle TSU pronunciation... MITSUBISHI...
 
富士
 
"More, please"

No, that is a peanut butter, but Skippy Crunchy is much better.

Crazy Richard's rules all PB. Some fools just don't know that you need to chuck it in a food processor first but it's worth it. Deaf Smith used to be #1 but it's not around anymore. Kirkland does make a decent PB too.

Only Kirkland is around this area and who would be silly enough to make a mess of a food processor when a large spoon or knife could get the job done?

Crazy Dick's tends to need more work than Kirkland. Issue with Kirkland is you need to buy two massive jars at once. I don't go through that much PB.

Then you do not eat enough peanut butter. Have you tried it on celery? Put peanut butter on bread and then into a toaster over?

Have you sliced a banana in half and coated both sides with PB then stuck back together and put in freezer then when solid taken out cut up and dip into more PB? Have you put it on a burger? Hotdogs? PB macaroni and cheese? PB soup? PB casserole? PB surprise? PB and PB sandwich? Frozen PB cake? Or the best, PB in the kiddy pool eaten with your hands?

I heard it cures cancer.
