> Why would you spell it like that if you don't want me to pronounce it chéri/sherry?

Because that's a way to spell it without changing the pronounciation in the US. Also, in the extremely unlikely event that it becomes very popular, in the US you can't trademark a dictionary word, it must be something unique.

“Windows” alone is not trademarked. “Windows 11” is trademarked. “Windows Server” is trademarked.

“Apple” isn’t trademarked. “MacBook” is trademarked. “Mac” is trademarked. “iTunes” is trademarked. “Apple iPad” is probably trademarked.

“Apple” alone is not trademarked.
