"I love the new furry phone"...

Just like DuckDuckGo I think the name will hamper adoption of this.

They could say it's pronounced "Wendigo" and people would still read it "Furry".

If people read "fury" as "furry" then that's a literacy problem.

You’re right.

And if you can’t understand why almost everyone will read ‘furi’ as furry and not ‘fury’, then you’ve got a phonics problem.
