Is it Still or Steel?

[hayden]

Stihl, that is. How is it pronounced?

 

[beenthere]

Steel

 

[Spiffy]

Beenthere is right. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Stihl

Of course, even though I know better, I mispronounce Stihl half the time, because everyone around here knows what I'm talking about then....else, maybe 25%. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Go figure! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I learned something again that I never knew. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif I've never heard it pronounced any way but "still" even by dealers. Couldn't be the southern drawl I'm sure since we do pronounce the metal right.

I've always been told it is "steel". However, that is not how my cuz from LA pronounces it. (L.A.- Lower Alabama)

He puts earl in his car motor so he can go visit his Uncle Oil. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

By "dealers," are you talking about the ones making shine? They use a "still." /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Most of the time I hear the chainsaw pronounced with two syllables: "stee-yuhl." /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Still, steel, Stihl...

They're all pronounced the same, aren't they? /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Well, at least I'm not the only one who's been confused.

 

[Egon]

Does it really matter. ??? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Always thought Still was prounced as " Husky" ! But that may be a dog also. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

The saws I own are pronounced "Husky" - that I know.
