Nokia: Knock-ia or Know-kia?
One more thing about the company meeting: two separate executives pronounced the Finnish phone maker like "knock-ia". I've always thought it was "know-kia". One of the execs, Pieter Knook, is European, so I assumed that was some European pronunciation.
But my eyes widened when Bill Gates himself said "Knock-ia". Is that right?
Update: As always, Bill is correct. In addition to the comments (thanks!) several people emailed me to confirm the knock-ia pronunciation and point me to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia
