You are right there, English grammer is a cruel and wicked mistress.
That said though,
Fed
Red
Bed
Ten...........not feeeeed, reeeeed, beeeeeed or teeeeen in any situation. If it were spelt 'Teakin' then your example would then put up a case for both pronunciations. But it is spelt in the same vein as the examples I gave so ...... I still don't see the 'Teeeekin' way as correct. Anyway, not like it really matter is it lol
Round my area I think the 'tech-in' pronunciation is a little more popular, but people still use both.
Out of interest how do you guys pronounce the fighting game of the same spelling?

I am not even going to guess. I have never even heard someone try to say it either. Not in a store not in conversation...so I truely dont know.

I suppose with Tekin being an American company it would be pronounced like that by their employees.
Meh, some fair examples there. Like it was mentioned before, if only English grammer had some hard and fast rules eh!
Thats my bad on the fighting game, it is a different spelling isn't it.
I guess like I said before, cos of accents etc we would all say it different anyway. Just like aluuuuuuuuuuuminum

Back in 1990 at the Reedy Race of Champions off road race in Costa Mesa I was talking to someone from Tekin and he said its pronounced "tech in".

I say "Tech-In", like the video game.
I found it really weird when I was watching videos and they were calling it "Tee-kin".

We just choose to spell it the way the discoverer did, not the way some grammarian does.

The "tam" and "eye" in Tam-eye-ya are not proper syllables...
It's just how an American would mispronounce the name.
