pronunciation
I'm surprised at the /u:/. For English speakers, I'd expect that vowel to be schwa. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.155.97.75 (talk) 09:05, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Here in Taiwan I've heard two pronunciations for the company name, /aˈsus/ by those with minimal exposure to English, and /ˈeɪsəs/ by those who do speak English. I personally say it in the latter way. I think the pronunciation in the referenced video is like that only because the speaker has a Taiwanese accent. We tend to fully pronounce unstressed vowels because Mandarin doesn't do vowel reduction. C9mVio9JRy (talk) 00:03, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
