Only when you are aware of the proper pronounciation and refuse to use it.
Look at the word:
Linux
The i should be as in:
Ticket
Imagine if it was spelled
Lidux
Sidux
Midux
(replace the n with a d and the confusion departs)
It isn't
Leinux or Lienux though a spelling of Linnux would remove all ambiguity.
English is just so weird. Lets not have a big row over it.
