How do you spell?
Ok, call me a meanie, but why does everyone have their own unique spelling for the Meguiar's line of car products?
How do you like to spell it???
(the examples I used above are from actual e-mails that thewaxtest.com received...eeek!) |

Maybe it's because . . .
it's hard to say "Meguires" (proper pronunciation) and type Meguiar's (proper spelling). I still have a hard time with it now that I know how to say the name correctly . . . I have caught myself typing Meguires for the first (and second and . . ) time! |

Don't you pronounce it like Mike McGwire's name?

That's a good question! I've heard Mark McGwire's name pronounced all sorts of ways...
Up 'nordth they say, "Mark MAC-gwhu-eyer"
Down south they say, "Mark muh-gwarrrs" (as SouthernBoy will verify)
I've heard Meguiar's pronounced all sorts of ways too, but my preferred way of pronounciation is:
"Meg-wires"
-Steve

Ok, ok I'm out of it. If there's anyone who's familiar with the playing career of Mark "Eve of Destruction" McGwire its me. I'm a die hard fan of the guy and I've followed him with his rookie year with the A's. Remember the Bash Brothers?
Anyway, I pronounce Mark's last name the second way. Pretty much all of the ESPN anchors and CNNSI anchors, Tony Larussa, etc... do as well. Laters
