Jaguar.

It's Jag-War, not Jag-Wire.

I will meet people at Sonic every day for the rest of my life over this. Only idiots pronounce it Jag-Wire.

Also I've heard from more than one person call Joe Burrow "Joe Burrows". I have no words for that stupidity.

I've heard some people say prolly instead of probably and barried instead of borrowed.
