prowla Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 It seems like it's got to the point where more people write Squire than Squier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Krow Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 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? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SH73 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Not guitar related but it's ŠKODA and not Skoda. Š in ŠKODA is pronounced like sh in sherry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LITTLEWING Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 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.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grangur Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 If "Squire" is pronounced sk-why-er Shouldn't "Squier" be pronounced Sk-wee-er ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsmedunc Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 (edited) Just sent a text on iPhone and "oki doki" was changed to "oil Richard" ??? My mate wouldn't have been best pleased!

Happy Jack Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 So I guess Lemmy's old band should have been Mo-teurgh-head? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Cato Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 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.
