Comment:

 Yeah, it's in the dictionary, I realize this.  Maybe it's not a concern.
 I figured that since I was mispronouncing it, along with all those with
 whom I shared my mispronunciation, it might be worth the minimal effort of
 putting "['''pij'''-''uh''n] beside the name.  Even a link to the
 dictionary reference (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=pidgin)
 might be helpful.

 I have mentioned this because, in my experience, any failure in a user's
 ability to pronunciate something leads to much less willingness to accept
 it.  Sure, there's a pronunciation key in the dictionary, but who looks up
 the name of a program in there?  "Trillian" isn't in the dictionary. ;)
