In that case we are humble and regular in Britain, as we do name our own
accents. See posts further up.

In Germany people also name their own accents, e.g. Bavarian, Swabian,
Frankfurterisch...

Yaaguar (in Germany) (Hard to render exactly - maybe we should attach wav
files to these posts...).

Same as the animal (as in English).

Kriseler with the first "r" at the back of the throat (when it's not
silent...)

Not necessarily so. American is quite close to Zummerzet (Somerset, SW
England) and is the language many of the early settlers spoke. Thus it has
been said that Shakespeare performed in the US is closer to how it sounded
in his day than when performed in England (especially by the National
Shakespeare Company in clipped, cut-glass accents.. ;-) )

English English has just moved on more since then...after all, nobody to
emulate :-)

we arent arguing where the trademark came from. you said the manufacturer
invented the word and you are WRONG. all they did was put a trademark on
it.

From http://www.m-w.com/home.htm:
Main Entry: 2jeep
Function: intransitive verb
Date: 1942
to travel by jeep

Of course, they also list the noun

It isn't a trademark. D-C claims it is, but the fact that every dictionary
I've ever looked in has it there in lower case would tend to indicate that
it has reached wide------- use for purposes other than to identify the one
trademarked item. They lost the trademark on it long ago, but they haven't
tried fighting anyone in court for an official ruling.

You left out MS, LA, TX, OK, AR, and possibly some others.

And yes, I am stating that the Southern Accent (tm) does pronounce it that
way. If you are claiming to be from the south but not pronounce it that
way, then you don't have the Southern Accent (tm).

Isn't it nice when Lloyd has a day off work. So he does not sit at his
work computer all day trashing Chrysler products.
He's the worst kind of Troll!!!!!!!
