You really do learn something new every day.
When it comes to the pronunciation of various products and brands people often have differing opinions which can lead to arguments and spats. For instance, we’ve all been pronouncing Zara and Asos the wrong way.
Only last month, we realised we were pronouncing Ralph Lauren wrong and if we didn’t feel like big enough gobshites as it is, it turns out there’s a specific way of pronouncing Adidas too.
While many of us pronounce the sports brand as either “uh-deed-us” or “a-deed-ass” it turns out that we’re all wrong, despite many of us correcting friends and family about the word.
According to The Today Show, the right way of saying the divisive word is in fact, “ah-dee-dahs”. Quite a bit of pronunciation there.
Maybe save yourself the trouble and never buy a pair of trainers ever again?
