where does the animal, the jaguar, come from? it's not Coventry, is it

It's native, amongst other places, to the SW of the US... So perhaps we have to give them that one.

If you want to be pedantic, maybe you should be pronouncing the J as a Y?

"The word 'jaguar' comes to English from one of the Tupi–Guarani languages, presumably the Amazonian trade language Tupinambá, via Portuguese jaguar.[5] The Tupian word, yaguara "beast", is sometimes translated as "dog".[6][7] The specific word for jaguar is yaguareté, with the suffix -eté meaning "real" or "true".[5][8]"

I drive a Jaguar. But i can't say Jaguar. I either say Jag or Jeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag.

I occasionally work in a Mitsubishi showroom. Even some staff there say Mitsubushi

It's not bushi FFS!!!!

My late father was a domineering b...d & envious of my modest success & material possessions including a couple of nice cars & my late mother a dreadful snob.
One day they turned up at my home in a nasty cheap SEAT which with a vindictive sneer I referred to as a 'seat' knowing full well that SEAT is pronounced SEE - AT.
