I think the use of eye-etc. is typical for the english-speaking countries. English/american english speaking people can't pronounce 'Amsterdam' either...

Well, you're wrong I'm afraid. And, I'm American and know exactly how to pronounce Amsterdam. But, disclaimer, I lived there for 5 years. I still can't pronounce Schiphol properly though.
