I always thought you'd still pronounce it as the original word. How do you pronounce it? Aeleveny?

Yep - pretty-much, aye-el-ev-en-why although I may have miscounted the syllables in eleven in my parent post.

It's most pronounced in aye-ate-een-en, internationalization is a word I find myself stumbling when saying in full.

What?!?! I have never heard anyone pronounce these terms in such a ludicrous fashion, and it’s not because I don’t have exposure I do a fair amount of work in this space.

I have never heard any of those pronounciations.
