Actually, I've noticed that you never see seashell and discreet at the same time... I reckon they're the same person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRBboy Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 There was the odd punter who came into the music shop i worked in and asked to have a go on an "Ibba-neigh"! (always eye-ban-ez as far as I'm concerned!) We also had a guy come in and ask if we had "any of them Flangurr pedals" The one that always really bothers me is D'addario; People who say "Dee-Addario" Its Da-da-rio!

mart Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 So how should I say Adidas? In the '70s it was simply ADDY-das, and then sometime (in the '90s? the decades started blurring then) it seemed to become a-DEE-das. And then (in the '00s?) Wikipedia said that it was short for Adi Dasler, so it should be Addy-DAS. Or have I got that all wrong? And, in any case, should I just go and buy Puma instead?

Dave Vader Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 As a massive geek, I wonder about lin-nux, vs. lie-nux. However as we linux users never actually speak in real life, it's never come up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
