Same here but I sometimes slip to the first pronunciation.
I go back and forth and don’t really care.

Both are acceptable pronunciations IMO. Tomayto-tomahto.
Yeah. I find mispronunciations of Iraq or Qatar more grating.

Are you sure?
Didn’t watch the link but when I dated a Brit he assured me that while they do say “to-mah-to”, absolutely no one says “po-tah-to”.
I think you’ll get a kick out of the link, then.

If you get a 360 degree dash cam in your car, and a teen flashes it, are you guilty of creating teh khiddie pr0n? (I kind of want my next car to have a dash cam, but this random “what if” randomly popped into my head the other day.)
If someone says they’re out of office until Monday, October 3, are they quiet quitting or just taking a 9-year vacation?

Or just confused about the concept of begin vs end?
I’ve wondered about this but with our home security cams. Like what if my son decides to enjoy a nude stroll through the house while we are away and forgets about the cameras? Now that’s in the cloud and visible to more than just me. At least with my dash cam it’s a closed circuit.
I recently installed these…

They’re only attached via magnets so someone with a ladder could easily come steal them and take the evidence away.

Why is jaguar pronounced jagwire?
Americans tend to pronounce it “JAG-wahr,” while Brits elongate the word a bit and emphasis the letter “U,” pronouncing it “JAG-you-are.” There’s also a subsection of the American pronunciation that you’ll find in the Midwest, which is similar to “JAG-wire.”
