Trying to persuade people to pronounce something the way you as creator do is a losing battle if it doesn't read like that - see GIF.

(fwiw my first thought was http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVdtQfqS9_U )



I had this argument last night. Ultimately I probably won't care if people say it wrong relative to author intention. Some people will know, others won't. I just want to at least document the intended pronunciation, which is the way the actual word is said in Japanese. Which, btw, means "dock" ... the closest I could get to Docker and just happens to sound like Heroku.
