I think it's a simple inability to spell (and likely to pronounce) the word correctly. We have two DIFFERENT words; "'concours" (correctly pronounced "con-coor"), which is short for "concours d'elegance" from the French usage, and we have "concourse" which isn't at all related to our discussion of automotive events. "Concour" is frequently pronounced "con-coors" by people who don't know any better, because they're unfamiliar with how the last "s" is pronounced (actually, NOT pronounced) in many French words. That mispronunciation then leads to confusion of the two terms.
I believe the Porsche spokesperson either doesn't know the difference, or has relied on a spell checker as a substitute for knowledge of the subject matter. The Cap'n |

The Cap'n I vote for the Spell Checker reasoning. Years ago I worked for "Recom Technologies". In writing a process improvement email to the company's CEO, I spell checked the document (through Microsoft) and immediately sent the doc without further review. I know... I was young and foolish (I'm no longer young). The email was sent to the CEO with the company's name spell corrected as follows: "Rectum Technologies". The email was not well received... |
