Pronunciation of Contemprary British English?

Let me clear this up, AGAIN! It's a good question to ask - I have German friends who assure me that the 911 is made by "Porschh-ahh", and not "Pawwshh", so we SHOULD use the right pronounciation as we would hear it in the country of origin. I know Americans say "Jagg-Wahh", but here in England we would look at you very funny if you did!

The word is "Jag-U-Ahh", or in some areas "Jag-U-Err", but ALWAYS with the U sounded, just like as in the "Yew" tree. As a further complication, I would say we call it a Jag-U-Ahhhhh is that is ALL we are calling it, but we shorten the last syllable, if we are adding the model-details after wards, so we would have: "I see Tony has a new Jag-U-Ahhhhh" (long last syllable) But also: "Dave has a lovely Jag-U-err XK-40, it's in fine order" (short last syllable) Captain Picard from Next Generation Star-Trek, the actor Patrick Stewart was living in Los Angeles and was auditioning to voice a Jaguar TV advert. He was actually rejected, because he had got use to using the American Jag-Wahh pronunciation, and they WANTED him to use "Jag-U-Ahh" or "Jag-Yew-Ahh"!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
