Schebler pronunciation

[exeric]

I was watching the latest Jay Leno Garage post on YouTube which featured the magnificent recreation of the 8 cylinder Curtis that Dale Stoner miraculously machined, cast, and pulled together. So, when they talked about the carburetors, Jay pronounced Schebler as, "SCH-LEE-bler, and Dale pronounced it as, "Sch-E-bler. I have always heard it pronounced as "Sch-EH-bler" with a short vowel E. Okay, Okay, I'm nit picking, but I like to know how words are genuinely pronounced so I don't make a bigger ass of myself. . . Curious what other members think.

Over whether my "bushing grinder"

...is pronounced the Midwestern 'Sun-nun', or "Soon-nen"

Merry Christmas everyone!

Sch-EH-bler and Sun-nun where I live. But I have been surprised to hear different pronunciations of some car names in different areas. The most obvious seems to be Willys - Willis or Willies?

Schebler pronunciation

I am waiting for some members from Europe or "Down Under" weigh in.

I heard a New England customer call them Shee-blahs,

But since I'm south of Chicaga I just call them Chibblurrs.

I'm from CT with a NY upbringing, and I say them as Shee-blur.

It's also a Sun-in hone.

When I called the Sunnen tech line many many years ago, Joe,

The rep called it "Tsue-nen".

That's why I asked.

I assume the C is silent and pronounce it Sheb-ler.

Can Ozzies produce a 'hard R', Peter?

It was quite confusing for me when a 'mate' kept telling me to get stock Indian parts;

He meant Stark.

PS:It should be pointed out that the Sunnen logo has rays emanating from the 'sun' part of the name; Does anyone know how Nordics would pronounce it?

No problem that I'm aware of Tom. Are you sure he wasn't a Kiwi living in OZ?

One of my best friends is proper British (well, South London) and he says funny things. Oh yeah, I have another friend that is an American/Anglophile who loves to correct my pronunciation whenever I err, so I question what I say so I don't sound like a dullard.to them . . .So, why should I give a sh*t ? Well, I just want to be a good American !
