How do you say diesel?
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.

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

P.S. It does drive me nuts.

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" . Or how about vee-hickle (vehicle) :P
