My first poll, and I guess it's a dumb one...

[WrenchMonkey]

When you say it out loud, is it "ennay, eks-jayay," or just "naksjuh?"

:dunno:

Robert

 

[IntrepidXJ]

naksjuh

 

[ZacSquatch]

NAX-JAY...


and then the kid with the XJ at the gas station says "Huh?" then I have to spell it.

 

[HaleYes]

naksjuh

Yep.

 

[BIGSLVRXJ]

I've always said naksjuh, but it seems like everyone I talk to via the phone says ennay x jayay.

 

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

naksjuh is how I spout it out....

 

[GrimmJeeper]

ive always said it like naksjuh.... followed by "the North American XJ Association" before they can ask "whats that stand for"


then i have to explain to a cherokee owner what an XJ is :hang:

 

[XBoBJ]

i use both, more of ennay, eks-jayay than naksjuh, most of my friends dont know what naksjuh is, with ennay, eks-jayay i can follow up with north american......

 

[MetViper]

I don't think its a dumb poll. I actually wondered if anyone would post about it. I've considered posting this same one but never did. atriot:

 

[gliegler]

That's funny you bring this up. Just this weekend I met another member on the trail. When I mentioned "ennay, eks-jayay", he corrected me and said it's pronounced "naksjuh".

Good poll!

I say NAX JUHHHHHH Didn't know there was confusion

 

[Ba-Riedo]

Its naks juh wa around here.

 

[98XJSport]

Nay-Ex-Jay (with a silent a)

 

[UNCC_99XJ]

naksjuh here...but it's whatever....as long as the person i'm talking to knows what the heck it is, pernunciation doesn't bother me.

And try explaining to people who don't even understand the Jeep thing what and the XJ are....

 

[jmowens]

naksjuh - but then again, I work for the Army, so I'm used to making "words" out of acronyms!

 

[5-90]

Dunno - I always just spell it out "en-ay-ex-jay-ay." It's inconvenient to pronounce, I think - so I don't.

 

[XJCruiser]

Dunno - I always just spell it out "en-ay-ex-jay-ay." It's inconvenient to pronounce, I think - so I don't.

thats exactly how i say it too!

 

[BIgDaddyChia]

I say naksjuh also. It just seems to flow for some reason.

 

[WB9YZU]

Dunno - I always just spell it out "en-ay-ex-jay-ay." It's inconvenient to pronounce, I think - so I don't.

Do you also pronounce "N.A.S.A" as 'ENAYSAY'?
