Reference: Wi-Fi – jak wymawiać?

Reference information:
Wi-Fi jest stosunkowo młode i rzeczywiście bywa różnie wymawiane. Niemniej jednak dominuje (i zapewne ostatecznie zwycięży) wymowa /’waıfaı/. Taka też wydaje się być popierana przez Wi-Fi Alliance – właściciela tego znaku towarowego.

W przypadku używania tego słowa w języku polskim nie dopatruję się błędu w wymawianiu tego słowa jako “wifi” (czyt. zgodnie z zapisem).
