Waa-com or Way-com?

This is not just another Wacom thread - it is a question of pronunciation..

I say waa-com..

The girl at work says way-com..

How do you say it?!

   I always pronounced it way-com.
   but then i heard jimiyo say waa-com, and he’s pretty much a graphic design genius so i’d say it’s waa-com lol.

   From wikipedia

   Wacom Co., Ltd. (Kabushiki-gaisha Wakomu, Wacom Co., Ltd.?) (pronounced in English as /'wɑːkɒm/ or /'wækɒm/)

   Damnit....either

   since there’s no accent above the a I don’t think it really matters..

   I always pronounced it 'way-com', but I’ve heard a lot of people pronounce it 'waa-com', and that’s more fun to say to me [sounds like whack 'em], so now I roll with the long A
