Actually, we commonly receive a much worse pronunciation.  We sell
references and tutorials for vi and it is quite common for a buyer to
call us to place an order.  They generally ask for a "6" reference.

This is a dead giveaway that we won't be able to talk them into some
other products.  Or, that they are Roman. :-)
