Correct!
No idea why some people pronounce it with an a... that would be the name Clark. Or the shoe shop. 😂

I bet you're one of those people who says Berkshire rather than Barkshire, on the basis of "that's how it's spelled". Surely it should be clear that English spelling is not phonetic.

But in this case, he's right.

They would be correct if they were American, as that is how Clerk is said in AmE. However, seeing as this is a British forum, I am going to assume they are British and thus they are wrong.

I don’t even know what that is. But I say it how it’s spelt.

1. A company can determine how people are meant to pronounce the name of said company; it is not the same as a dictated word.
2. I don't know what 'extra' means in that context.
3. I've just said that English spelling is not phonetic; based on that, how could you possibly make any assumption about how I would pronounce a word?

The phonetic way to say i would be "ih' not 'aye'
