At the risk of seeming stoopid...

how exactly IS it pronounced? Is it N-A-X-J-A? Or is it nacksjuh? I've never actually heard anyone pronounce it. :dunce:

i always use the "nacksjuh". but i haven't been around very long so i'm more than likely screwin' it up.

nacksjuh as far as i'm concerned.

My GF pronounced it N-A-X-J-A one time and some one who doesn't even own an XJ let alone is a member corrected her. :doh:

Well I had to ask. If I didn't otherwise know, maybe I would pronounce U.S.A. as yoosa, or BOR as bore, or WTF as witif, or MOAB as Mowab.

Anyway, thanks for the clarification.

Yeah, kinda like Coors beer. You may pronounce it coors where you are, here it's kerrs. And Dr. Pepper?????? It's pronounced Coke here. "What do you want to drink?" "Coke please." "What kind?" "Dr. Pepper."

It must be a southern thing 'cause when I lived in Fla I was a bar tender for a while and it took me a while to learn to ask what kind of Coke they wanted.
