How is Ts'ao Ts'ao, Suhn Chuen, or Jhu-guh Lieng any worse than Cow Cow, Soon Kwan, or Joo-gay Leeang?

It's worse because I'm used to the mistake. If you've learned how to do something the wrong way, it's a little hard to re-learn to do it the right way. Especially when there's no real incentive to do so.

I couldn't imagine having/wanting to re-learn how to pronounce the names of the characters. It'd all be a waste of energy anyway, as I'd never call Sun Quan "Suhn Chuen", nor would I say other characters who have different pronounciations. I refuse to do it. I'm stubborn, I know. But I just don't see the point in it. They'll always be Cow Cow and Leeoo Bay to me.
