You know what really grinds my gears? When people say "Jaguire." Jag-wire. It's like fingernails on a blackboard.
How the hell do you even get that out of the word Jaguar? There's no I or E. Why is this word so difficult? Jag-wahr or jag-u-are depending on your accent.
This guy keeps saying Jaguire. I think I'm going to have to close my office door and shut out the world until he leaves.

Still not as bad as Porsche being pronounced as "Porsh". -_-

Or Merceedes. Or Renawlt.
Mind you I unashamedly say Pewjoe.

How about "Jag-whar" or "Jag-you-whiree?" Me, personally, I just go with "Jaaaaaaaaag".

I say Awdi as unashamedly as I say Pewjoe. I also say Skoda rather than Shkoda and Vokeswagon rather than Folksvahgen.

JAG-U-AR. Simple. Real simple. No 'wahr' or waar', but 'jag', 'you' 'are'. Jaguar.
But then I have a Skoda. Very few if anyone I know pronounces it 'Sch-koda'.

My Volvo dealership is right next to our Porsche, Audi, Jaguar, VW, and Subaru lot. I hear ALL the mis-pronunciations. ALL OF THEM! So, I feel your pain.

I like it when my wife says "Look over there, it's a shagyouare."(that's the best spelling of how she says it)
