Not sure what country you're getting angry in, but in the UK at least, they "officially" changed the pronunciation from "hyundai" to "hyunday" with a series of adverts a couple of years ago.

They were literally called Hyundai (i.e. with high-un-die pronunciation) in all their own adverts and everything for the last 40 or 50 years. Of course, basically everyone still calls them Hyundai.

I don't think ignoring a companies "rebranding advert" really suggests anything about someone's knowledge or care.

    I'm in the US, heard a multitude of pronunciations from people here. I'm not getting angry, I'm just adding clarification on how to say it (at last In US).

    Although I did get upset when a supposed "expert"-or at least industry professional- can't use naming correctly.

    As for other countries, yes there are discrepancies with numerous name pronunciations, and while I agree with many (Nissan, Prius, or Jaguar to name a few), saying Hyundai any other way is nails on a chalkboard to me now.
