The FAQ needs to have the definitive answer, not this mess. As it explains, the "Libre" part of the name is French or Spanish. The proper pronunciation needs at least to respect this choice and come up with something that approximates the French or Spanish word. Doesn't that mean that "Li" part has to be LEE (not LIE) and "bre" has to be BRUH or BREE (not BRAY)? (I read it as BRUH, but that's because I am marginally more familiar with French than with Spanish.)
I know that this has been thrashed out over the last few months but when I saw the FAQ offering I was dumbfounded.
Considering the technologies around, why can't we start a pole, with all the variations being discussed posted as alternatives?
The community can then vote on the pronunciation that it prefers - Assuming their is a majority this should be the preferred pronunciation posted on the FAQ page.
