The Yeti

After a discussion I had with Lonesome Dave today, I got to thinking about all the MC gear that is commonly mis-pronounced. I thought we should start a list. Here's a few I know that are usually mis-pronounced.  If you have any more pronunciations to add, just reply here!

Acerbis - uh-chair-bees (NOT uh-sir-biss)
Klim - climb (NOT....ummm....well...not klim)
Aria - uh-rye (NOT are-eee-uh, that would be a hotel in Vegas)
Shoei - Show-eee (NOT shoe-eee)

Hope that clears some thing up. ;-)

I thought it was "A-serb-iss" ???

Me too. For years. We were wrong.

I also said Klim for years (rhymed with Him).

I also thought that song "Radar Love" by Golden Earring was Red Hot Love for most of my teenage years. :)
