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.
