OK, now how about "Ibanez?" I always hear that pronounced "EYE-buh-nezz," with the emphasis on the "eye." But I have one friend who says "ibba-nezz." That same guy always says "rih-VERB," where other folks say "REE-verb."

P.S. I'm having trouble with Linux and Ubuntu, too...

P.P.S. I saw a movie once with a character named "ih-BAN-ezz," so I guess that's also a possibility.
