    Quick, I need a Sony Fanboy........... subby

    That line of sony tv's, is it pronounced Vega or Wega? I've heard both, but which is correct?

    Wega. It'll be Vega to a German speaker.

    Not really, in this case Germans would pronounce "V" similar as a "F", but the "W" in WEGA is pronounced like a normal "W". (Maybe you pronounce it different in the US? Gerby?)

    understandable. you're not german.

    but most germans do know how to say "w"... my friends were being dorks and saying things like "Vill you vant to..." like that.

    sorta like how Hollywood stereotypes that accent.

    anyway, I'm already bored today. this is adding to it.

    I tell you ... this years Street Parade was completly overpopulated with Germans ... had to speak "Hochdeutsch" all day long ... I hope they get their Loveparade back next year.
