I know it's petty but it makes my teeth itch when watching a car show and the presenter insists on saying the car name wrong! Example last nights Top Gear. Yeah i know he's a yank but ffs Le Blanc you are in the UK now it's Fiat ( fee-ut) not ( fay-yaght). His pronunciation of Abarth was way off too.

Mike Brewer made me want to slap his chubby face in when he droned on about a Camaro( cam-aero) calling it a (cam-are-o) over and over again. Cock!!

Clarkson just grips my st though with Volkswagen( volks-wagon) calling it (vowks-vagen). And a Cobra (co-bra) a (cob-ra).

Am i the only person that is bothered by this?? Dear God please say i'm not .I know i have issues but come on, they just sound wrong!
