How about
MAFAC
and
Miche?
I use, pretty exclusively, MAFAC Competition brakes. It'd be nice to know if my pronunciation of [Mah' fahc] is correct or if it gets the long A.
I have a co-worker who will be mangling how things are said. He manages to mispronounce the fi'zi:k brand on a daily basis; and I have to keep reminding him that there's no 'e' in Nuovo.
