Pronunciation of "Jaguar"
Alright, no more screwing around. How do you pronounce "jaguar"?
Is is true that Americans say "JAG-wahr"
and Brits says "JAG-you-are"?
T.S. Eliot, an Anglophiliac from Missouri, says, in "Whispers of Immortality"
the couched Brazilian jaguar
Which pronunciation does he intend? I think he affects the British one. Yes?
