How the fvck do you get the "EEE" in of aluminum??? Damn retards!!

I could understand AL - YOU - MIN - UHM, but AL - YOU - MIN - EEE - UM is downright stoopid.

Brits spell it differently, ALUMINIUM, thats how you get the differing sound.

As it's a British car you can start pronouncing it properly. It's JAG - YOU - ARE.

How do y'all pronouce Lion? Or Cheetah? Lay-un? Chet-err? It even has a picture of the animal on the front to give you a clue

- In the next episode of ATOT, how to pronounce: Cheese.

Strange, I've never heard it pronounced Jag-whire.

I've just said it outloud to myself, and it almost sounds like "Jag-oo-Ar". Said quickly, it sounds like a slur between the British and American version (though, closer to the American version).

I usually hear it as Jag-whar.

Could somebody post the history of the word Jaguar? Using a company's country of origin is flawed in that the language could have been butchering the word from the get-go.

While some British people would undoubtably pronounce it that way, there are a few of us that know how to speak properly

Erm, let me see, it's an English car, and the place of manufacture is, hold on, erm, England, and the language of the country of origin, hmmm, toughie that, English.

American English: "Jag-wahr"

Queen's English: "Jag-you-are"

If you dildo heads bothered to listen to the commercials you'd hear it pronounced correctly and stop saying "Jag-wire"
