I worked at Circuit City for 7 years and heard it all the time and it drove me crazy. I dont know why since it is so insignificant that it should not bother me, but its one of those little things.
The pronunciation of the word Wega or Vega.
The word is pronounced Vega yet everyone that came in would say Wega.
Sony's website had a little note at the top of the website when the Wega's first came out and if you rolled over the logo it would pop and say "pronounced Vay-Guh".
Even the commercial pronounces it Vega. Yet people still come in and say Wega. The logo is what messes people up, it is a double v ( W ) one is shadowed behind the other to give people the impression that it is Wega. I just hated to hear people say Wega everytime it just sounded rediculous to me.
Like somebody saying Oregon (Or Gone) not from Oregon or neighboring states. (It is Ory-Gun)
I know this is a rediculous topic but, what else would we talk about here. LOL.
