Another one of those mispronunciations

[z3zep]

Back in the 70's I used to think it was pronounced æ-dee-dis

I remember a buddy of mine said it stood for --- all day i dream about sex

This might be an NJ thing, I remember we used to say that too!

I have one for our NY tri-state area people ...

How do you pronounce Tappan Zee ?

I constantly hear 2 very different pronunciations

Tap - in - zee

Toppan (with emphasis on PAN) - zee

I say the first.

I say Tap - Pan - Zee

The odd part about this one though isn't a dialect difference within different regions of the U.S. but a difference in enunciation between countries. The Folksvagen example is the closest example. It would be the same if the U.S. dealerships were forced to start calling it by it's German enunciation "Folkvagen" instead of it's English enunciation "Volkswagon". I don't understand why Adidas would start forcing the German enunciation when the company has been around for decades and prounounced in the Anglican way here in the U.S.
