Stihl, that is. How is it pronounced?

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.:p

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

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