Just curious, how do you guys pronounce the names of saws and related items:
Stihl: "Steel". prolly the most commonly mispronounced. The Stihl site FAQ's lists it as steel. This means many of the puns on the name are incorrect. Like, "I stihl think I know the most about saws." A correct pun would be: "Got a 660 for $200, what a stihl!
Husqvarna: its either "HUSK-uh-VAR-nuh" or "husk-VAR-nuh". Which do you use? 4 syllables or three?
Jonsered: who knows... "JOHNS-ur-red" or "JONES-ur-red".
Shindaiwa: "shin-DYE-uh-wuh", maybe "SHIN-duh-why"??
Tanaka: "TAN-uh-kuh" or "tuh-NAK-uh"?
What am I missing?
