| I've heard the brand name butchered before. I think I have it right (#1), but do I? I would bet in Japan they pronounce it like #2. |

In Japan it's pronounced Hon-da. |

Good point, Worm. I forgot in Japan there is no Acura brand. Thanks. |

If there was, it would be "Acula". ;) |

Hi TheWorm:
___Is that pronounced HON-dah with emphasis on the first syllable or is the emphasis on the second syllable like hon-DAH? Maybe you should start a poll ;) <-- This was a totally useless post.
___Good Luck

George W. Bush pronounces it "a Q ruh." It's just like "new Q lurr" (nuclear).
Also sounds similar to fingernails on a blackboard. :rolleyes: |

| Probably a derivation of accurare, to do with care, and therefore ac·cu·ra and not a-cu·ré-a although being japanese it could be ah-ku-rah. |

The Japanese named these special Hondas in the U.S. as Acura...we pronounce is "ACK- KOO-RA"
In Japan ACURA means acurate/Precise.
When Acura was first launched in the U.S. its company motto is "Precision Engineering by Acura"
Hope this helps. |

Latin is almost always the real root...
accurare = to do with care
ac = to
cura-re = to care for
cura = care |

According to former President Bill Clinton, "harass" is spelled with two words.:bootyshak |

| Thanks for the help. I know this was stupid poll, but after a few people were pronouncing it weird, I thought maybe I was the doofus pronouncing it wrong.:D |

| I am having a hard time controlling myself. I mean the poll IS stupid, but the responses to the thread are entertaining. To the point I am practically laughing out loud! Thanks - this will get me through a 4-hour meeting beginning in an hour.:20: |

| Glad I could help. Maybe I should start a poll of the stupidest polls!!:D |
