Whoever came up with the Coca-Cola phonetic adaptation needs to teach SAC a few tricks of innovation.

Guys can we transfer or better continue this "J-20 - discussion on dimensions" into a separate thread?
Some of the posts are interesting but not really strictly related to the J-20 so please continue here and I will try to move as much of the older posts:

I don't really know Tibetan script. But it is not difficult to map the Latin spelling and Tibetan script as it is a spelling system based on Sanskrit. Actually you don't need to know the language to be able to know the transcription system. You just need to read the table I mentioned in the wiki link where you can see the corresponding marking of the sound in Pinyin and the IPA marking.
For example, in both Mandarin Pinyin and Tibetan Pinyin (due to be invented all by Chinese government) ch is correspondent to IPA [. So all the bold texts in Chun Tian (Mandarin), Chomolungma (Tibetan), Church (English), Deutsch (German) are pronounced in the same way.
Transcription (Pinyin or IPA) is the tool for one to learn to read (pronounce) a language WITHOUT understanding it. I can read German pretty accurately without understand a thing, or Italian for the same reason.
This is just for fun. I will stop here.
Not surprising. Like I said it should be a nickname instead of metaphor for that slogan to feel right; otherwise it's bad taste.
Or put it in another way, whoever came up with the slogan should use the mountain name chosen for WS-15, while at the same time it serves the purpose of a metaphor for challenge. A pure metaphor would miss the more important point - THE engine for J-20.
But if WS-15 is named Mt. Everest, what's left for the next gen.? To me this name is too bold, I really don't like it.

I'm getting old...just looking at the script gives me headache
