When I was in my youth some people in this part of the world referred to Japanese motorcycles as "rice grinders," particularly the ones with small, high revving engines. But even 50 years later I still hear people say "Porsh" ... including some who own one! That drives me crazy.

 

I don’t know whether it’s the same in the US, but here in the UK the brand name Braun is pronounced “brawn”, even in TV commercials. For some strange reason, however, Audi is pronounced correctly.

 

Speaking of Porsche, I recall someone telling me about seeing one with a bumper sticker which said, “My other car is a Porsche”!
