Kunrei Shiki is really annoying. Nobody knows how to pronounce Mitutoyo correctly because someone in Japan got scared of the supposed ambiguity caused by "tsu".

I recently saw some publicity video by Mitutoyo America on YouTube that pronounced it [mitutɔjou]. All the machinists I watch on YouTube pronounce it [mɪtsutɔjou] though.
