Dumb? Probably...
Ok, I'm new to the business, and all I've learned has been read about here on the forum. The other day, I overheard some people talking about performance parts, and one guy stated "I am going to get a Greddy(he pronounced it how it looks) exhaust" when his friend proceeded to make fun of him and say "It's pronounced g'reddy(jee-reddy)" Well, since I've only read about it, I assumed the first guy was right....so which is it?
And also, Pettit...is it pronounced like what you do to a cat...'pet it'?
Dumb, pointless and boring, I know, but I was quite curious. Thank you

there was a thread someone started on the pronounciation of Veilside (i think in the interior/exterior forum), and i got a kick out of how some people thought it was pronounced!

lol veilside is not easy to spell for the normal newb! Its really pronounced vile-side for the term-inclined. The ei is what is called a 'dipthong' and is a term coined for most germ based words. And that one guy is on crack. How the heck can you miss not seeing a " ' " after the g in greddy. Someone has been drinking a tad bit too much.
Also I was cracking up about the Pettit way of prouncing it. I was thinking you guys were trying to say pet tit. Lol! I wish I mad a pet tit ahahahaha. Anywho, I prounce the same way as a the word that means 'a small woman's clothing'. Petite of somehting like that.

Greddy is the word Trust uses for the combination of great and eddy - Greddy, meaning a great eddy or great wind/storm... etc. So I would assume its pronounced gr'eddy.
