OK, so after 30+ years of lusting after Porsches, I finally got one.
Despite years of dreaming about them, putting them off because it wasn't time yet, and reading all kinds of literature on them, in my mind, I pronounced it "Porsh". Not "Porsh-uh". Just "Porsh". Many times I heard the words in my head...."McLovin? You need to get you a Porsh". And here's the thing. I took three years of German in High School and even went to the Porsche Museum once on a trip to Germany. So now, I'm learning that it's properly pronounced "Porsh-uh", and I'm a Rube, a Heyseed, a backwards individual if I call it a "Porsh". But after 30 years, and now car ownership, I'm having trouble saying "Porsh-uh". So how do you say it? You know, to yourself. Not out loud? Porsh or Porsh-uh? |
