I'm so sick of this.
The teacher is NOT a professor, it's not difficult to distinguish between academic titles, stop calling your teacher/lecturer a professor. I know you're all still in grade 6, but that's not an excuse for this kind of blatant ignorance.
>>8104279
I don't get it.

>his teachers are not professors
fucking undergrads
>>8104305
He's a full professor, not some adjunct lecturer, he's a research head at my university

>Teacher (a technician, not professor) pronounces it literally "S-i-e-m-e-n-s" with the vowels crystal clear, not "Simens"
Quite common and acceptable though because we don't speak english natively, but I tend to pronounce words correctly nevertheless, It's a good habit and more professional.
>>8104305
What's the difference, apart from professors being part-time
I work in an American office of Siemens, and I've never heard anything but "See-mens."
Even from the Germans.

I find that people avoid taking explicitly about the size of the Weiner index even though it is a useful matrix.
>>8104527
the Siemens rep who's been at my hospital says it with a Z

>English accent
>Asad abidi
>>8104566

"zimens"
>>8104588
Germans say "See-mens."

I am German, typically we say it with a "Z" but when speaking English I swap to the s
>>8104598
>typically we say it with a "Z"
no we don´t you faggot
>>8104598
Why pronounce S as a Z?
>>8104609
i've always said it with a Z, that's how they say it on TV too
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFCS612LE98
he says it with a Z right at beginning
>>8104611
"sie" is pronounced like an English z
>>8104621
Fuck me I always pronounced it as "see"
Are all s's z's
>>8104613
The faggot you're replying to misunderstood your use of "Z" as pronounced in German (i.e. "tsett") rather than the English pronunciation ("zed"). You're also a faggot for not realizing.
>>8104694
thank you for your answer
>>8104723
I see. I've lived in the US for doctoral studies for a while now so I'm used to American conventions
