If you want to sell Gyros in English speaking nations, learn to spell them phonetically. Fucking Greeks at it again with their useless prideful stubbornness to spell it their way expecting every random American to know how to pronounce it their specific way.

I don't like Turks too much, but I end up liking Turks just to spite Greeks.

I don't care if these immigrants are stubborn about their spelling and see the refusal to assimilate as a source of pride.

What annoys me is when these people get upset when local Americans get the pronunciations confused (rightfully so), and feel the need to lecture us like we're supposed to know.
