    True, it is pronounced 'purr-zho' in England but it's also pronounced that way in France. Like Audi is sometimes pronounced 'Aw-di' when in England and Germany it's pronounced 'Ow-di'.

    Being able to pronounce French words properly doesn't make you posh.

    They're French names, ffs — Peuh-zho / Reu-no (accent on the second syllable — not Renn-o)

    How d'you like it when the Yanks talk about Sergeant Oh, ma hone-ee? :rolleyes:

    Ah, I know that, but (don't know about Dublin) out in the country, if you were to pronounce it like the French, people would 1st look at you like you had 2 heads & then laugh at you for 'having notions about yourself'

    Same goes for saying Ow-di, it's awdy

    But anyway, what am I talking about:-
    Where I'm from, the elders talk about fleur (floor), deur (door), cowl (cold), vit (vet), lathlanians (I think it's a new nationality:- a cross between latvians & lithuanians, or something) etc, etc, so it's not like we can pronounce anything anyway!! :D

    I moved it. I'd say it has something to do with motoring, seeing as how these car people are rather fickle about their pronunciations. Besides, I own a pee-ew-zhjo

    How would you pronounce Citroën? I think a lot of how we pronounce brand names has to do with how the products were adveritised when you were a kid. In my memory, it was always Pew-joe. Ren-alt. Cit-run. Jag-you-ar. Aw-di. volks-wag-en. Lance-ia

    I believe the correct pronunciation is Per-joe, Rhen-oh, Cit-rho-en, Jag-war. Ow-di. Folks-Vag-en. Lan-chi-a
