Pronounce it ACE-er-Bis and not aye-cher-beez. Nobody looks at the name and thinks aye-cher-beez. And ACE-er-Bis sounds better. You do you, just trying to help the market.

I'll tell Franco Acerbis to change his name because one American cannot pronounce it.

Acker-bass. For real did not know what someone was trying to sell. The "ace or bees" is another good one. Cant think of another name brand that has been so butchered over the years

In it Italian Ce and Ci are usually pronounced ‘chay’ and ‘chee’ like chair and cheese.

Che and chi are usually pronounced ‘keh’ and ‘kee’ like kelp and keen.

It’s not universal but it’s a good rule of thumb.

I asked this question to a guy I know named Franco once while having lunch in Bergamo Alta.

If he were here, he'd say va fa un culo.

My dad always pronounced it ah-sur-bee with a silent s, so that is drilled into my head whether right or wrong
