Hey kyro (or kee-row), do you say jie-row or yee-row?

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm 99% sure the correct pronounciation is "gee-row", however the Greek/Italian place near my office I say "i'd like a gee-row" and they say "ok that's one jie-row"

everywhere else i've gotten them says gee-row

I say JY-ROH even though I know it's wrong.

[/ QUOTE ]

Same here. Mainly because everytime I've asked for one or ordered one and said YEE-ROH people look at me like I'm retarded

[/ QUOTE ]
Ditto. In SI, NY we had to say it that way.

However, it's hard up here. Everywhere I go and say Jy-Row, they think I'm one of Jerry's kids.

This makes me wonder what "American" products those in other countries enjoy that those of us in America have never heard of.

I'm struggling to think of anything definitively American that we enjoy here. I mean, obviously, lots of things are, but I couldn't pick anything off the top of my head. Even less so in the UK.

People in lots of other countries get to experience our military weapons, but I never have ...

Bad example, maybe.
