So how do two guys who ostensibly spend their entire lives looking for, repairing to semi-functionality and writing about it miss-pronounce the name ?

Qmass posted:So how do two guys who ostensibly spend their entire lives looking for, repairing to semi-functionality and writing about it miss-pronounce the name ? The name immediately draws comparisons to "Willy's", so that's how most people assume it's pronounced and how GIs who saw military Jeeps stamped with WILLYS pronounced it. The founder John Norman Willys says his last name like "Willis" and period advertisement pronounces it the same https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdHp5mM56ts. Nobody actually cares though.

Not just that, we get to be super smug and claim that we improved the word. Though with aluminum it's actually true.

With aluminum/aluminiun, it was changed to fit in with other -ium names. "Willis", "Jag-yoo-arr", "Niss-an", "Porsh". Titchey Japanese cars are "Kay" class, not "Key" class. However, I can't pronounce Baccaruda.
