I say "She-dee-rlome-tu" (RL sound followed by Rome) but I am saying it this way on purpose.

How about the way the chicky-poo says it on the warning track?  It's been awhile since I listened to it, but I think she says something like "Shee dee romo oh visk er ez"  Actually I don't think the Japanese have invented a way to pronounce the letter "v" yet, so it may be "bisk" instead.

What is the point of putting "u" at the end of every word when it's not pronounced? Since it's never pronounced, why not just drop it? Makes no sense.

They pronounce it... kind of.  The Japanese have an extraordinarily difficult time ending a word on a consonant sound, so they put vowel sounds at the end of most (not all) things.  So "Rom" absolutely MUST become "Romu" when spoken by a native speaker.  It takes years of dedicated training to overcome this.

They must whisper it or something then because I have never, ever heard the "u".

Do you have a Japanese CD game?  If so, listen to the warning track.  It's there.  It may blend into the next word, but it's there.

The japanese "alphabet" is a mixture of syllables (well except for a stray "n").  They use the "u" syllables as the closest approximation to ending with a consonant.

One example is when I had to write my name "Stephane", I would use the katakana for Su te fu+a n.

I usually say "CD-Rom Two", but often called it "squared" back in the day, like "Super CD-ROM squared system".

For years everyone online called Super CD games "SCD" and often "SCD" was used to label any PCE CD game. Its weird seeing people use "SCD" nowadays when refering to Sega-CD games.
