According to that thread [and pimpmythread here] most of the UK guys prefer "Porsh," to avoid seeming snooty. This thread suggests that in the US "Por-sha" is preferred.
Note the reference to "pretentious Americans"  |
I wouldn't take anything too seriously there...the Forum is called "Boxa" after all
I don't get the whole inverted snobbery thing - it's pronounced 'PORSH-A" so why try and dumb it down?
Why is it considered "Snooty" to pronounce something correctly?
