My capstone class has a case study on Tata buying JLR and the entire time everyone in the class has been saying Jagwire and damn does that grind my gears.

If you saw the animal you would call it a Jaguar, why the fuck is this any different?!?

I always assumed these people call the animal a jagwire, too. Then again, the Brits don’t like Jag-wahr, either. :)

The car company pronounces it wrong, but I let them slide because the cars are nice.

I think people pronounce the car company and the animal the same. It’s just that the pronunciation differs from country to country and sometimes by region within a country.

Might be a location/regional thing? Like how Boston people say “Khakis” when they are actually saying “Car keys”.

They make really nice cable kits. I use it on all of my bikes.

That’s a new one. Jag-you-are and Jag-war are the only two pronunciations I’ll accept.

Thats par for the course. British people pronounce everything incorrectly; I mean they invented the language, but can’t even speak or write it properly. XD

But it doesn’t matter, because if you’ve got a Jag, you’re living the Jaaaaaag lifestyle

That would kill me. Everyone knows they’re Jagulars. And when you look up, they drop on you.

Jaguar is one of those funny words that loses an entire fucking syllable if repeated in two different accents.

Unfortunately, Google seems to pander to those special few who not only say it incorrectly, but think that it’s spelled that way.

Man that feels weird to say.

It’s a lazy way to say it. “Oo” is less effort than “you” so... Yeah suits me pretty well

Laziness is a valid reason 100% of the time as far as I’m concerned. Carry on.

The mid-west accent can be a bitch to some.

Unless I am actively thinking about it the Michigan “S” plagues me all the time.
