This is a question Irrational Hatred

People who say "less" when they mean "fewer" ought to be turned into soup, the soup fed to baboons and the baboons fired into an active volcano. What has you grinding your teeth with rage, and why?

It really winds me up
On Top Gear when they say 'Porsche'. It's not Porsche, it's Porsche. Porsche just sounds like something you'd call your cat. In fact, I don't think I ever recall anybody saying Porsche until Top Gear.

Conversely, it annoys me when people say Renault instead of Renault.

The vending machine droid at work pronounces jalapeno with a hard "j" and a long "e".
Jallypeeno.

Where do you tand on Peugeot?
I say it Peugeot, but my mate says Peugeot.

Well Peugeot obviously
I remember years ago hearing somebody say "but what are all the extra letters for?"

However, I've noticed on Top Gear that they don't say Volkswagen, but just say Volkswagen instead.

Given the usual Top Gear fare
I'm surprised they just don't say "Panzer" instead.
