I try to speak with as much intelligence as I can, but sometimes I hear some words and names spoken differently.
Is LUNATI pronounced Loon-ah-tee or Loon-uh-tie?
Is Milodon pronounced Mile-o-don or Mill-o-don?
I've heard people garble Edelbrock into Elder-brock, Eddy and Eddebrock and I KNOW that isn't right.
How about Moroso? Is it More-oh-soe or More-ah-soe?

What other car related words do you know of that are spoken many different ways?
 
Lou-na-tee

As in Lou short for Louis
Na as in a New Yorker saying Na, he ain't here. Both "a's" the same
Tee as in T-shirt
*My New York accent could be getting in the way here? LOL!)

HEMI rebel has a good one. Works for me.
 
How about Tremec? I say Treh-meck. Have heard Tree-meck.
 
seems I've heard the different ways myself.. everybody seems to know what you mean tho...
 
Trem- mack

I love the constant mispronounced Weiand. LOL! It says right on the box, "Say "Why-and" and people still say we-and!

I forgot those. I've said Treh-Meck for the transmission but the Weiand had confused me.
How about Kiesler? Kyse-lurr or Kees-lurr?
 
Lu-nah-tee, My-Lo-Don...I know the Vice President of Milodon he's a local here in Los Angeles...even owns a '69 4-speed Road Runner he's owned forever, he says "My-Lo-Don".
 
The Milodon one has been a mystery to me until now.
 
How bout Weiand? I know very few who say that one right. It's pronounced 'why-and' Many years back, I had an intake that even had this cast into it (Say why-and) I guess it's been a problem for a long time lol
 
Milodon, when I use to call them when I had my Milodon Mastodon Hemi, they would always answered the phone with, "My-Low-Don", how can we help you ??... hell half the time it's even misspelled too, even by me "Milidon"... I've heard guys from the father company, who worked for the company for years, mispronounce it too "Mill-A-Don"... maybe it's just a slang/accent thing, but it's Simi Valley Calif. is where the father company is & we don't really have too much accents out here, that I've noticed anyway... not like the south or up north or back east
 
Lunati needs to add a "c".

Then it would be easy!

I've also heard WeLand, I guess cause sometimes it's in all caps.

Are all Mahle rings 'moly?
 
Also, lost count of ow many times I've heard "Eldebrock".
 
Have always said loo-not-ee, mill-oh-den, why-and, and treh-mek.
