it's quite funny in this topic... to see how people call each model series..
Just before reading this, I noticed I always said six-one-twelve, but this would equate to 6112. Darn, thats going to be a hard habit to break....
No Northern Ireland is still part of the UK, however it isnt part of Britian (which is of course an island made up of England / Scotland / Wales), Unless of course somebody towed it across the irish sea last night whilst I was asleep (damn students first it was painting the super lamb bannana now this!)........just poping down the road to check
OK, so how do you pronounce "Mondial"? mon-dial (as in: "dial the telephone") mon-dee-ALL (as in: "I want them all") mon-dee-AL (as in: "My friend Big Al") I have always said mon-dial but I understand that is wrong. Birdman BTW, It's three-oh-eight as far as I'm concerned!
Hmmm I say: 360 Three Sixty 355 Three Five Five Having thought about it my rule is: if Digit3 = "0" { Say Digit1 + Digit23; } else { Say Digit1 + Digit2 + Digit3; } Actually, knowing my head its more like: Say Digit1; if Digit3 = "0" { Say Digit23; } else { Say Digit2 + Digit3; }
For real Italian tongue-twisters associated (at one time or another) with Ferrari, consider "superleggera" or "supercortemaggiore"!
4-30 3-60 3-5-5 3-4-8 3-2-8 3-O-8(zero doesn't have the same ring) 5-50 5-7-5 6-12 4-5-6 The above sounds the best, with numbers but if u say 3-60 or 3-6-0 its not like you are incorrectly speaking the numbers out. sixty or six - zero is still said in the correct english no matter what accent you have. Now Italian words on the other hand, like Modena eeek I want to hurt ppl everytime I hear it said wrong, but I guess its not your fault if you are taught incorrectly
Hmmm 1st "feature" discovered... Say Digit1; if Digit3 = "0" { Say Digit23; } else { if Digit2 = "0" { Say "O" + Digit3; } else { Say Digit2 + Digit3; } } Which I guess means a "300" (if it existed) would be a 3 hundred ... sounds about right .
I have heard it called tuddy before, but that from my sister. I have also heard Testarossa been called testosterone. On the other names I am with Doc Cosgrove.
ok, I feel dumb asking this, but how do you pronounce Scaglietti? Mr. Kalikow said it the correct way when we were talking about the car, but I cant exactly recall it fully. I think he said Scay-etti or Sky-etti, but not totall sure. Can someone fill my in? Oh and for all those who are still calling it Barchetta(pronouncing 'ch' as in church)-it actually bar-k-etta. Just so you dont emabarrass yoursleves at the next Ferrari meet
SLUTMOBILE - (slut'-mo'beel) n. Distinctive Ferrari 512m with sexual prowess or aura. adj. that which attracts females who wish to mate
Ive heard Scal-ietti, but ive heard Scay-etti as well. A lot of times when I just quickly say the name in my mind it sounds like Scag-lietti
A friend is in the commercial airline industry and it is intresting how they pronounce the name of planes, specifically Boeing. It is opposite of most of us, for instance a seven forty seven is a seven four seven, a seven thirty seven is seven three seven, and so on. The only one I have heard that sounds right is triple seven.
308: three-oh-eight 328: three-twenty-eight 348: three four eight 355: three-five - five 360: three-sixty 456: four-five-six 612: six-one-two 550: five-fifty 575: five-seven-five 430: four-thirty 400: four-hundred 512: five-twelve 333: three-thirtythree 365: three-six-five
This is how i say it: note: "x" just means some number. If 2nd n 3rd digit zero, jus say "x" hundred. e.g. 400 = four hundred. If 2nd digit is zero but not 3rd, say "x" "oh" "x". e.g. 308 = three-oh-eight. If 2nd digit is not zero, but 3rd is zero, say the 1st digit and treat 2nd and third as one number. e.g. 360 = three-sixty. If all three digit are not zero, just say them seperately. e.g. 575 = five-seven-five. Hmm, looking back my explanation seems to be awfully complicated ><" haha. oh, and i would pronounce Scaglietti as "sca-li-etti" bascially just treat the "g" as silent and pronounce the "sca" part like in "scare"
