It's funny the Lays chips thing was brought up. I drew a short comic ages ago in which the first panel was two tech-somethingorothers leaning against a tank. The first line is from one of the two "You can't call it lays... It'd sount like a chip".
BTW Lays is an American brand. Infact its at the top of the food empire. Frito-Lay owns all the Corn(Fritos corn chips) and all the potatoes (Lays potatoe chips) in America. They also own Nabisco, Nestlie and so forth. They also own Tropicana, who in turn owns pepsi and coke, who in turn own McDs, BK, KFC so on and so forth. If you anything from a can, box, bag or bottle in america you're enjoying frito-lay.
Yeah...not to derail this thread too much, but you may want to check some of your facts about Frito-Lay.

I think I may be pronouncing Laser differently then some people.
I don't pronounce it LAY-zer. I say la-zer. kinda soft.
Either way, I don't belive Frito-lay owns Coke AND Pepsi. they are competing brands, if they were mutually owned by a controller they would most certaintly merge.
Now its possable that someone, somewhere, owns stock in all of those companies. so in a sense they are owned together, but not in a majority.

Coca Cola might own tropicana, but there's no way Tropicana owns Coca Cola. Or pepsi. Nestle is it's own company AFAIK.
The best I ever heard was someone referring to the Fortress of Redemption the 'Fortress of Recommendation'. It's times like that when the nonsense some people put out on YMDC makes perfect sense. Reading for the win!

You're doing it wrong.
Arguing with some people is like playing chess with a pigeon. You can play the best chess in the world, but at the end of the day the pigeon will still knock all the pieces off the board and then gak all over it.

I always pronounce C'tan with a soft 'c', although I have heard it both ways. Here's one I wonder: Huron's first name. How the hell do you pronounce 'Lufgt?'
The only pronunciation which still annoys me is "Abbadon".
I have always pronounced it Ah-bad-un (kinda like someone saying "'im? 'ees a bad 'un")
Where as other pronounce it Ab-add-on
Which is correct? (though i feel my pronunciation is probably wrong, ive said it that way so long its hard to change)
As for other arguments, I have always said LAZ-gun. Khrone is said like "corn" but with more emphasis in the "H" like "cool whip".
For primarchs (pry-mark) I have always said: Sang(hard, lower case G)-win-ee-us, Robe-oot-Goohl-ih-mun, Mort-air-ree-on, Hohr-us, Full-grim.
