  • Schebler pronunciation

    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.
