  1. I enjoy Feli's channel, but let's be honest -- she's bayerisch, and Porsche's are made in Swabia (not to mention the Porsche family is actually Bohemian). Linguistically the Bavarian dialect was actually spoken in Bohemia too, but Schwabish is a completely different dialect, let alone mindset. Ask any German! ;-) But since we're speaking English on this channel, let's just keep to standard English rules. Note my use of an apostrophe instead of "let us" is not a catastrophe of English pronounciation. Youngsters with acne may disagree with me, but that would be the epitome of bad form. If a group of vigilante teenagers got together into a posse to track me down, it wouldn't mean more than a Sesame seed to me -- because vocalized final E's are not unknown in English. And I didn't even need to refer to such French loanwords as cliché, fiancé or résumé. But speaking of France, if we were all speaking in French we wouldn't be having this discussion because the Académie Française would have formally, and finally ruled on the matter.

  2. "The Porsch-e pronunciation I would believe is based on a class snobbery thing." You could actually say the same thing about the ownership of the brand, at least from new.
