As the "placebo effect" is "a nothing that helps", so I guess a fake placebo is "a nothing that doesn't".

Delay Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Mehr-Ze-Des. That's how we pronounce it. What should be even more problematic is "Volkswagen", and strangely it seems like Porsche is pronounced "porsh"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Baron Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) Mercedes is actually a female first name. It was the name of the daughter of Emil Jellinek, a rich guy and aristocrat who did races with Daimler motor cars at the end of the 19th century in France (i think) and appeared on the list with the pseudonym "Mercedes", his daughter's first name. This name became so popular (and he actually started to design engines for Daimler motor company) that the cars were branded as Daimler Mercedes in ~1900. Or so. Later name changes and rebranding have washed that away, as well as the names of Lenoir, Otto, Benz and Maybach, who played decisive roles. Only Daimler has "survived". And no, i don't own a Mercedes. Too expensive, too heavy, too big. I own a small Toyota. Karl Schwarzschild is one of my favourites. Nobody gets it right. :-) Edited February 28, 2019 by Green Baron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerbiloid Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) Mers /mers/ or Merin /'merin/ (literally - "gelding"). But officially - /mersed'es/ *** BMW - Beha /'beha/ (literally - "B-thing") or Bumer /'bumer/ (sounds like "boom!") But officially - /beem've/ Edited February 28, 2019 by kerbiloid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
