I totally agree, although it's the americanisation of money that annoys me even more - "this sofa is just 4-9-9, yes 4-9-9!" NO! it's 4 hundred AND 99 POUNDS!!!!!!!
my dad gets cross when they pronounce nestle as "nestlay" because he says it used to be nestles. i point out that it's a french-speaking company but he just sulks.

but your Dad's right it was pronounced Nestles for years. and when you have grown-up with adverts trying to sell you Nestles Milky Bar it's hard to get your head around this "Neslay" stuff.
But they are Opal fruits and were called that for most of my blinking life I just cant understand why company's mess about with perfectly good products names ....like jiff..>> ciff. Flippin foreigner's fault not being able to prounounce the letter "J"

I still say Opal Fruits instead of Starburst. I remember when Coco Pops changed its name to Choco Crispies or something like that. There was a free phonenumber you could phone (like a petition) for them to change it back to Coco Pops - and they did! Choco Crispies sounds stupid whereas Coco Pops is clearly genious! Lol
