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!)

Well, you'll kill this one if it won't take the correct spelling

I thought it was MecGwiares

LOL that annoys me as well but I can't really talk . . . I thought it was pronounced meg-eee-ahrs.

Where I come from, you say "Muh-Gwaaars."

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?

geekysteve · 02-19-02, 08:34

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

Don2000g · 02-19-02, 08:49

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

I understand that to be the correct pronunciation as said by Barry Meg-wire
