I had a couple clients that would say rooter and refused to properly pronounce it as router.

I-raq.
It was pronounced Iraq 90s during and before desert storm. Suddenly it became I-raq.

Toy-yoda. F'xx man.... it is To-yo-ta and the founder of the company is To-yo-da, not Mr. Toy-Yoda. :)

So. I need a new power vent water heater. With my shitty luck (I have a worst freaking luck ever), I apply for a permit online. The city wants ~$72 for a permit which I am going to replace my own darn water heater.

Sh1t, even commie Mao or Che would get shock over the permit cost.

When I first came to Colorado and the Denver area, I would pronounce Arvada Ar-vayda....... I still do on occasion. Well, recently it is ?ArvaydaBa......

And it still bugs me when some hillbilly says I-talian and I-raq.

Save the permit fee, aggravation and multiple trips to the hardware store and hire a plumbing company. Your heart and blood pressure will thank you.

I guess you missed out on the fun of listening to Jimmy Carter pronounce it...
