You don't have to explain people how to pronounce it. It does not
matter.
Just like it does not matter how you pronounce Linux. Linux, like KDE,
is a product from people for people. It are those people who decide
how you pronounce it. And if you pronounce it differently from how I
pronounce it... so what? I use KDE probably in a different way than
you. Is that good or bad? It really does not matter. 

And we can always rename Konqueror back into KFM :P (Try saying
konqueror
10 times fast in a row)

Cheers,
Waldo
