i now know why i never excelled at badminton. no matter how hard i try, i am unable to find a "L" anywhere in my name.
LOL, does it matter coz if we want to be pedantic, Lee in cantonese (chinese dialect) is pronounced as Lae not Lee and in India, it is probably pronounced as Ree (with the roll of the tongue that Indians are very good at).
What I know that Indians pronounce Lee still sounded Lee.One of their ethnics groups Malayalee they pronounce the last three letters as lee. They pronounce the words with the last "R" that they drag further e:g "four" it will sounded fourrrr. And the way they pronounce the letter is much differents. "A" = Yea E=Yee L=Yell M=Yam S=Yess. When I was in the Server Administrator & Networking Course,the lecturer was from India.He pronounce SLA = Yessellay.!! I just smile, but he notice that,what to do... Still remember in Primary school the English teacher was from India. During spelling subject he pronounce and spell the word "apple".... Yea PP Yell Yee, = Yapple.!!!
lol. so that tells us, "lee" is not "lee" at all in many languages. the thing is, in hangeul the first character does not represent an L sound (i would need to verify this though), and koreans would always say "ee." in any case, "lee hyun il" would be roughly pronounced as ee-hyon-il.
these sound nicer, but the "Lee" not always in front: Sony Lee Kuncoro Leemon Tree.. opsss. Santoso Taufik Leedayat Markis Leedo Leeliana Natsir
and all of them won the title with controversial calls. 3 in MO 08 favoured to LCW, and so many calls favoured to LHI in KO 08. that's why they can win!
