Why do so many pronounce Hornady "horn-a-day"?

Forgive me if I'm missing something obvious, but the name of the bullet manufacturer is Hornady, pronounced "horn-a-dee".
Yet, I hear so many saying and even spelling it Hornaday.
Isn't that the name of a NASCAR Truck driver? I don't hear anyone say Siarra, or Noslar.
Any ideas?
Pardon my cynicism.

I have a guy in my hunting camp that calls it Hornabee. Irritates the crap out of me. I guess if he said Hornaday I would be just as irritated.

Yeah, it's "hor-na-dee," for sure.

It's also "loo-pold," not "lee-uh-pold." Wink

People mispronounce words because they either don't take the time to read the word, are insufficiently educated to sound out a word they have never seen before or are just rednecks, who get most things wrong anyway. I fall into the latter class. Having been a trucker for 13+ years, I've heard every mangling of the English language possible. Mostly, it's just dumbfucks who can't read or can't read very well who destroy the mother tongue. The spelling of these people is enough to make a student of the language (such as me) want to hurl his cookies.

Rootbeer

There is so many ways to pronounce words, depending on where you are and the dialect.

Also Yes the school system is not as it was once, Here locally they spend one week in 11th grade on the Bill of Rights. Then they wonder why the younger people do not vote.

I have heard many ways to pronounce my last name as well as spelling it, so after all these years. I do not get to hot under the collar any more but just say this is the way our family pronounces and spells our name. Then I have to live outside a city that has a local Indian name,(Native American).

Plain ignorance, is all it is. Some folks can't read, or comprehend, nor enunciate their language much less spell correctly.

What's that stuff in corrosive primers? Why it's fa-lume-in-ate of mercury. Sorry no, it's full-min-ate.

Sab-ott. Again no. It's french like that 50's\60's eye candy Brigette Bar-doe. Say-bow. Although the emphasis can be on either syllable. So aren't ya glad ya know better now? Nope. Everyone I know says, sab-ott. That other way sounds too pansy-ass. The guys'll make fun of me!

Sometimes you're better off not even putting forth the effort cause ya can't teach old dawgs new words.

I work in a gun shop and the way some of my co-workers say things drives me nuts, let alone customers. (slack is given to customers, but I love razzing the guys I work with about it.)
Some people refuse to get it right it seems.

Walther - NOT Walter

Hodgdon - NOT Hodgman (This guy orders all of our waders though, so I think the two names cross without him realizing it)

Swarovski- all too often heard as savorski. So much in fact that sometimes I think I'M wrong.

7-M-M rem mag. - ahhhhhhh

Hornadee/Hornaday - Hell, I've said this one both ways.(my inlaws say 'day. When in Rome...)

Showed a guy a Sako (Sayko), the other day and he corrected me as Sock-o. I told him I know the correct way, but no one ever knows what I'm talking about when I say it properly!

Benelli- often heard as bernelli

Cabelas- Carbellis, Carbellas, Kerbellas. (It's a dirty word any way you look at it.)

Sig Sawyer- Huh?

Thats just my little list off the top of my head. I'm really not this anal. I promise!

Gib

"Why do so many pronounce Hornady "horn-a-day"?"

Because it rhymes with "away"! "They don't walk away from a Horna-DAY!" Or so says a friend of mine.

You ARE wrong. The Finns pronounce it Sock-o, which means everything else is wrong. Capiche?

It might help your case if you could use spell correctly.

"Hale" is someone's last name. "Hail" when used in conjuction with a location means "where I am from".

Also, it is "emphasis", not "emphisis".
