Truer words are rarely spoken.
Heh heh heh, folks, thanks very much for making an old insomniac's small hours pass that much faster; this thread is packed to the gills with 'win'! Gonna try and get my head down for a couple of hours before duty calls again.
For me personally, Lay-kon and Moz-da. I am also American so... I will say though that for spelling I often use the British spellings for words so TBH I don't know lol...
In my head it's pronounced "Chevy." (The L, A, K, O and N are all silent, y'see...) [haha]
I'm from LA, California and it's pronounced L.A. Con.
(Well, I used to live in LA)

Actually, speaking as an American, I can assure you it's the other way around. Indeed, it's a life-long ambition of mine to one day travel to England so I can teach the English how to speak English.
They do butcher the language so.
Meanwhile, for the record, "Lakon" is pronounced "Throatwarbler Mangrove".
And with that, you may consider me a silly person and refuse to interview me.
That's like those people who pronounce Pecan....as PEE-CAN....Really?!?! Everyone knows it's pronounced....Pah-con.
That one kills me, especially since it's usually people who live where the trees don't grow who call it pee-can
As a fellow American; where the crap are you from? You choose the weirdest pronunciations possible.
Americans have a terrible habit of just butchering words left and right.
I did live in the UK, among other places, for a few years though, and in all honesty, you guys aren't any better.
The Germans are probably the best English-speakers out there, which makes sense given that we're all just their illegitimate linguistic offspring.

Ive always pronounced it as Lay kon. it sounds the best for me
That's what I thought too.
As fine a bit of trolling as I've seen in many a year.I'm not a native English speaker nor a linguist but since there's no American language, every word Americans pronounce differently than Brits must be wrong by default... right?
And what's a British accent? Go anywhere in the British Isles then go 20 miles in any direction and the accent will be different.
Scottish television programmes are sometimes given subtitles when shown in England. But Inverness (a city in the Highlands) is reckoned to be where English is spoken best.
The langue changes and evolves. And ‘Mericans can speak however they fancy if they don’t mind getting stick.
BTW Lay con and I'm a Brit.

You mean like adding an extra i to the word Aloominum? Aren't we just the most cunning linguists?
It depends on your nationality!
Technically, the English (British) pronunciation rules would have it pronounced as Lay-Kon. I'm not sure that the Americans have any pronunciation rules
But it's just a game so pronounce it however you want.

The Station ATC pronounce it 'Lay Kon', so I guess that's as definitive as we can get.
But I can't believe no-one has said that it's actually pronounced 'Throatwobbler Mangrove'.
I've very disappointed in you all.
(Edit: Apart from Majic-12. Who did. *cough*)
If we want to put extra 'u's in our wourds, we will.
