How do you pronounce Stihl?

[aandabooks]

Everybody I've talked to about saws pronounces Stihl like it rhymes with Wheel, Deal or Meal. Guy at work insists that it is pronounced like it rhymes with Bill, Will or Kill. Which one is right?

 

[husker80]

The way I pronounce it is still. Don't know if it's right, I'm from down south . But in my eyes it is right, and in the end that's what matters to me. Pronounce it how you want even if its just to aggravate him, I do it all the time.

It's "steel" dangit!

 

[ScottWojo]

Um, You should give respect to the man who started the company.

Gustoff Baron Von Steeeeel. Or what ever it was. But you do pronounce it just like "Steel". The Metal.

I still sometimes slip and say "Still." Just the whiskey in me I guess.

lol.
I pronounce it like Steel. But I've heard it pronounced, Still, Stall, etc. But it's a lot easier to pronounce than Shindaiwa! Lots of people around here pronounce that like Shenandoah!

I cut one branch per year, it is from a white pine I believe, and only make 3 cuts in the branch, nothing more than 4 inches in diameter. What saw should I buy?

Well now that depends. What kind of undershorts do you wear - boxers or briefs?

I say it still. I looked and couldn't find an e in the word, so using my education in phonics I say still. I know, I know I'm wrong in my pronunciation, but I just don't speak German.
I don't speak sweedish either, so I just say Husky.
And I don't speak Japanees either, so I just say Jap scrap.

It's steel/steal no moonshine here no still needed.

Now on to the more important questions should I be running 40:1 in the blue bottle or 16:1 in the black bottle??? If I use the stuff in the orange bottle can I run it at 50:1 and if I do should I still use the cheap Wally world bar oil or do I need to get the Bio, should I run hemp seed oil, if I do can I still use the compression button thingy or will that clog the air filter????? If I use the sesame seed oil can I get it in the gallon jug or will I have to squeeze my own from my hamburger????? I tried the stuff in the green bottle that my sisters, uncles, cousin's, next-door-neighbor who knows a guy from church that cut down a tree once, told me to use but the kanuter valve kept sticking and I was burning up muffler bearings at an alarming rate, and at 3 cents a piece I was about to go broke. Please help

Sounds to me like you're in desperate need of a still.

[Cody82]

In australia and a few other countries it is like bill or mill, if you said steel over here around pro operators they would think you are talking about somthing else!

You would be correct Sir :help:

 

[windthrown]

Like KILL BILL, its STILL around here in the heart of Doug fir country. Even at the saw shop. Though they tend to float either way, whatever the cussomer thinks is right.
