Maybe this is a different England to the one I live in. There are only two pronunciations of that word that I'm aware of. One is a Dutch "soccer" team (ay-ax to us Brits). The cleaning product is pronounced as spelt - a-jax. This isn't a regional variation - this is everyone I've ever met (and discussed cleaning products with, natch) across an entire country. Actually, re-reading your post, are you suggesting that the spelling is reversed - 'cos it isn't. Anyway, I want a Marathon and don't try and give me a Snickers instead. |
Actually Ay-ax is how most of Europe pronounces Ajax, (whether you're referring to the soccer team, the cleaner, or the guys in the Iliad...) it's just ignorant Anglophones who pronounce it the other way.
