Short version - I was looking for tortillas in a rural Mississippi

asked an employee. She told me they were in the dairy case. Um,
ok.


yeah, they keep them in the dairy case here too. I think they need to
keep them cold. I keep mine in the fridge until I make my cheese and
chocolate chip quesadillas



They stock in dairy and some on the shelves with Mexican food. I
suspect the latter are chock full of preservatives. I usually buy
tortillas at the Mexican grocery anyway, as they are much cheaper there.

They probably don't stay on the shelves long enough here to bother with
refrigeration.

Which is my point precisely! You assumed I was talking solely about the
British-made car. But I wasn't. I wrote "jaguar." As we both pointed
out, Brits call it jag-yoo-ar, a pronunciation otherwise foreign to the
USian ear and used in the US by ex-pats or poseurs. In that vein, YES!
"Even the manufacturer" pronounces the name of the car jag-yoo-ar, as it
would since it is a British company. Show the car to the USian in the
street and ask him or her to tell you what it is, and you will likely
hear jag-waar or jag-wire. USian Jaguar owners will use US
pronunciation, unless they are, as covered before, hopelessly affected.

But how do Brits pronounce the name of the Central and South American
wild cat? Ah ha! Just as I suspected! They say jag-yoo-ar! What does the
manufacturer call it, in this instance?!

in its *truly* native setting, it's a yaa-waar

FYI:
The British don't own anything...
BMW owns Bently and Ford owns Jaguar

which makes a 3 syllable pronounciation of that word just plain wrong!

Did I say the British "own" anything?

not since they lost India, baby!

It's "jag-u-ar". It's British. It sounds best that way.

It's "jag-u-ar"--sounds better that way--and it's correct, too.

Returning to the original pronunciation observation in this thread:
[to paraphrase] It's "al-yoo-min-ee-um" -- and it's correct, too... in
the UK. But not in the US, which was the point all along.

I thought that a jaguar was a new world animal.
And the name is probably Spanish in origin, or the approximation of
the native peoples word.
