Well...There's certainly quite a few here that need to work on their spelling and punctuation ...LOL
A little trivia, did you know the the "H" in Husqvarna is silent? It's pronounced Oosk-varna, I learned this when I restored several Husqvarna dirt bikes a few years ago.
It's definitely silent. The word begins with more of a grunt sound than a sounded letter.
Say "husk". That word begins with the first letter originating slightly below the jawbone.
Now..."usk". This words starts deeper in the throat, nearly the top of the chest.
The old timers at Husky, way back when I rode a factory bike, took it a step further.
They combined the top of the chest sound..."usk"... with a pursing of the lips to produce more of a "eewusk".
Three syllables. The a was always harder than softer.
The plural is "Volvos".
I think you will find the plural of Volvo is "Boring old persons cars"
lol
I know 1 person under 50 that owns one!
What about "would of" for "would've", or "all of a sudden"? It's like the innerweb in inhabited by third graders. Third graders who don't know squat about two stroke oil...
A-friggin'-MEN on the then/than dealio.
People who concentrate on grammar are anal retentive aholes!
For what it's worth, the question mark should be within the closing parenthesis. Also, your last "sentence" is a fragment, having no verb.
When did "Prolly" become a word? As in, "I will Prolly see you tomorrow."
It is probably !
Also, I'm not sure anyone would want to "AXE" a question would they?
It is ASK !
It's always possible that the name has evolved its own entity, and regional pronunciations are common.

how many people do you know pronounce husqvarna like it has an a in it
I found no reference to a silent H in husqvarna in any reference I could find. I did find this bit:

If it is a combination of two words, and the first being Hus (house), it is not pronounced like "moose". It is more like "juice" and the H is not silent.
My favorite is when people add an a between the q and the v.
Matt...I see you've got a Special 50....man I love this saw.
Got mine in the early nineties...still my go to saw in a stable of very many.
If you're ever lookin' to unload it...look me up...
It's always possible that the name has evolved its own entity, and regional pronunciations are common. The eew sound you were describing could be a shortening or slurring of the h sound. Or it could have been edged off like a cockney saying 'ousehold instead of household. All I was saying is that in Swedish the word Hus(house) has an audible H sound.
Thats why I use STIHL,easy to spell on this site:monkey:
I thought it was "Jonsereds".
