I always thought Spohn was pronounced like "John." It doesn't feel right calling Nittos "Nee-toes"

Just because alot more people pronounce it a certain way, it doesn't mean that is the correct way.

Nitto is a Japanese company, the correct way to pronounce Nitto is Nee-Toe, even if it sounds funny. Ni is always "Nee" in Japanese.
