My beloved Tevas finally gave up the ghost after 16 years of yeoman service. In the course of purchasing a replacement pair (which will prove inferior in every possible way, no doubt. Sniff.), I learned that I had been pronouncing their name incorrectly for that entire time. They are not Teeevas. They are Tehvas. At least according to the promotional video that the Zappos app had.

Actually, I favour 'Tevyas' given their provenance.
