Pronunciations
Hi all, I’m new here. I stumbled across this domain while looking at information for my old Singer (328K) and if it’ll fit into a treadle cabinet without remaking the entire wood top & new connections.
Anyhow, every time I see the name Pfaff, I want to say P-faff. I can’t undo it! And it just started. I always pronounced it “faff” before. What the heck. lol For a long time I didn’t know how to say Janome. I thought it was like Ja’gnome. lol
I have this problem with lawnmowers, too, it seems. For example, Husqvarna, I want to say Husk-a-varna. My husband has to correct me. And Cub Cadet always comes out Club Cadet. lol
Yet for cars, he says hi-un-die for “hun-day”, Hyundai. I correct him, but it doesn’t stick. He does it on purpose at this point.
