I've been a practitioner of Chi Kung for 17 years and I still refuse to write it "Qi Gong".

You have no idea how many times people have said "Kee Gong" and I've had to remind them that "Qi" is pronounced "chee" and they look at me like I was the one who made up this crazy spelling.

I also hate the way most Americans pronounce "Feng Shui". They say "Fung Schway". "Feng Shui" is Wind Water. Wind is "Foon" as in Typhoon (Great Wind).

"Water" definitely does NOT sound to me, when said by a Chinese person, like "shoe way" as said by most Americans.
