And no "H" in Jose. Or "W" in Juan. How about Colonel?

My English teaching nun from High School would have a fit with some of these pronunciations.

That's OK as long as she doesn't use that ruler on us!

 

[Hohn]

I don't think it's Hor Nay Dee
I think it's HOR nah dee

That's how the company pronounces it

You are correct.

Thank for you classing up INGO.

Note that I no longer say "zink" for sink and "lie-berry" for library.

Aside, my name is not "Kirt".

Ok, ok, I'll contribute to this threads proliferation... how about simular and nucular.

I have always called it "Horn-uh-dee" BTW.

Leopold

Leupold (LOO-pold) - American maker of excellent quality scopes.

Leopold, Aldo (LEE-uh-pold) - One of the founding fathers of conservationism in America.

It bugs the crap out of me when a hunter says they have a "LEE-uh-pold" scope on their rifle. It's not because they don't know how to pronounce the name of the expensive glass they put on their gun, it's because they have no CLUE who Leopold is, or why he was so instrumental to the hunting we enjoy today. Anyone who hunts or owns land owes it to themselves to read one or more of the collections of Leopold's essays; A Sand County Almanac is a good one to start with and Game Management was THE textbook on the topic for many years.

Note: Jim Shockey is sponsored by Leupold and they pronounce it correctly in their promotional spots!

Reminded me of this for some reason:

 

[Clay]

Po tay toe

 

[kalboy]

It's "Hor Nay Dee."

Sorry for the rant.

Thanks for clearing that up. I've always wanted to try their products but would always end up buying Sierra or Speer instead because I was sure of their pronunciation.
