I've got a TV tuner card in my computer and I was watching the country awards while surfing the DTR and saw the Duramax comercial. I noticed the way the guy said diesel. He pronounced it "deezel". I don't know about you guys, but I can't stand when people say it like that! I say it "dEsel". Maybe it's just a Chevy thing...

I was wondering how all you diesel heads say it and if your as uptight about how others pronounce it.

I know, I know, potato, patato.

...still drives me nuts.

Alright, Shania Twain is on, back to full screen with the country awards. Talk to you guys later.

Cummins

 

The crazy guy in "The Roadwarrior" says deezel. I think it is more of an Australian thing, or at least started around there.

4x4
P.S. It does drive me nuts.

 

I say it D-cell or to make it short...Cummins!!! Like ShovelHead said.

 

I say deezel just for the sake of driving people nuts. ;D

 

I think it is a regional thing, Americans pronounce things funny, like roof (say it like a dog barking) or rOOf (accent on the "OO&quot . Or how about vee-hickle (vehicle) :P

 

My deezul runs aboot faster then a mazda wit nitrous eh

Cummins is Cummins, then theres those that say Cummings...referring to a different engine I guess

 

Everyone in the world pronounces it DEEZUL.. Well except in the US that is...LOL...

Its German, so try to say DEESSUL in german accent.. Doesn't work..

Just to tick you guys....DEEEEZZZULLL..

J-eh
