Re: Pluralization Of Brand Names
However, I do like TJ a lot. They're not so huge as other supermarkets, the help is intelligent and pleasant, the selection is somewhat healthier (or at least seems to be), and they have decent British items at times. I just wish other people didn't like it so much too.....

Re: Pluralization Of Brand Names
How about saying names completely wrong?
Was about a month before my wife realised it was Jewel Osco and not Jewel Oscar.
I personally prefer to say "sivis" because CVS is just too much work.

"Is that humv? I am looking for a doved"
Ok it might be this show http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fonejacker
But that doesn't make sense because that aired after I left the UK. I must have seen a clip somewhere or perhaps I saw it when it was piloted on Comedy Lab.

Re: Pluralization Of Brand Names
I vaguely remember a TV sketch show that had a regular spot where some guy would mispronounce stuff like that. I want to say the best one was when they rang up an HMV store asking about a DVD.

You probably saw it on youtube or facebook or something.

We just call that Jewel. Not Jewels, of course ...
