"Many Moleskine users send us enquiries as to which is the correct way of pronouncing the word 'Moleskine'. The answer is: there is no predetermined answer.
Moleskine® is a brand name with undefined national identity.
Everyone should feel free to pronounce it as he/she prefers."
I bet if your school had an Italian language program (mine didn't), that teacher would know better.
I love the sheer arrogance of an English teacher thinking they automatically know the pronunciation of an Italian word... simply because they're a teacher.
Italian language? The moleskine company is now located in Italy, but it was not always so. It used to be a French company until 1986 when it disbanded. Couple of years later, some Italian company picked it up, but the name remained ofcourse, French.
I'm not making this up. Its like everyone sees two words they think they recognize, and just assume the "E" was added for some insignificant reason. Theres an "E" at the end because they aren't named after the epidermis of a talpidae.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Someone else gets it! I can't believe how many people say it like "mole skin". The pronunciation "mole-skeen" is only slightly more tolerable.
This was a useless mod, based upon an incorrect pronunciation, and I'm giving it only one star.
cool!

It was just a small mistake man, don't don't have to feel like you're better than other people by making pointless corrections.
See how that works?
