It's Squier, Squire

[prowla]

It seems like it's got to the point where more people write Squire than Squier.

I imagine it’s the auto cucumber on mobile phones that changes it!

Also while we're on the subject, it's Häussel or Haeussel not Haussel. Really cringe-worthy when folk make such simple spelling errors: makes you kinda think they don't care so long as folk understand what they're saying?

Don’t get me started on Morrischick basses.

Not guitar related but it's  ŠKODA and not Skoda.

Š in ŠKODA is pronounced  like sh in sherry.

[T-Bay]

But is it PedAnt or PedEnt?

Love it on sales sites where there are 'symbels', bass speaker 150 watts (actually a whole combo), 38 watt practice amp (read it on the back as power consumption, actually a 15 watt job), and the odd food mixer....

Guitar peddles.

If  "Squire" is pronounced sk-why-er

Shouldn't "Squier" be pronounced  Sk-wee-er  ?

[Hobbayne]

Lie Chester Square in London is unpronounceable!

[dannybuoy]

As is Luger Baruga, commonly spelt as Loughborough, just to the north east of BirmingHAM.

Just sent a text on iPhone and "oki doki" was changed to "oil Richard" ???  My mate wouldn't have been best pleased! 

I can write bollocks but not D.I.C.K. What if my name was d.i.c.k?

So I guess Lemmy's old band should have been Mo-teurgh-head?

You can be pretty sure that, at the time, they didn't know the spelling should be "Motörhead" or "Motoerhead". I'd also put money on the fact they NEVER pronounced it correctly.

They'll still write Squier for Chris! Not to mention David Gilmore and Randy Rhodes. Sigh.

Most of us can't even pronounce it, let alone spell it.

You’d be flipped

edit: thats boring, was hoping for something far more adventurous from the swear filter.

Slightly OT but did anyone ever get a definitive answer on correct pronunciation of 'Warwick' as in Warwick basses?

I've tried to find out before, but even Germans can't seem to agree on whether it's 'Var vick' ,'War wick', 'Bar bick' or some combination of the aforementioned.

In my house, it's "Warwick" as in "Warwickshire".

That's how I pronounce it, and probably always will.

Mind you, I refuse to say Eyebanez or Nikee despite knowing that those are the correct pronunciations.

[BreadBin]

I've always assumed it was pronounced Worrick 

[arthurhenry]

Warwick (basses) is pronounced War-wick.

Also people writing Gb when it should be GB!
