I'm so sick of this.

The teacher is NOT a professor, it's not difficult to distinguish between academic titles, stop calling your teacher/lecturer a professor. I know you're all still in grade 6, but that's not an excuse for this kind of blatant ignorance.

Quite common and acceptable though because we don't speak english natively, but I tend to pronounce words correctly nevertheless, It's a good habit and more professional.

I work in an American office of Siemens, and I've never heard anything but "See-mens."
Even from the Germans.

I find that people avoid taking explicitly about the size of the Weiner index even though it is a useful matrix.

>>8104613
The faggot you're replying to misunderstood your use of "Z" as pronounced in German (i.e. "tsett") rather than the English pronunciation ("zed"). You're also a faggot for not realizing.

>>8104694
