How do you say it, and why are you saying it wrong? 

 

LOL, this has to be one of my biggest pet peeves when listening to boat reviews, sales people, or anyone talking about their boat.

 

 

Pic for attention, the KON-suhl of a Sportsman Masters 267, because I want one.

I say con as in conman then sole like the bottom of my shoe.   That said, Yankees have the right to say it wrong if they like and I respect that. 😁

Yankee here, and I say it the same as you.  I made it through the fifth grade.

I say "con". Yankee here and the 5th grade was the best 3 years of my life!

Kon-sull 

Can't say I've ever heard a single person pronounce it incorrectly.

They teach boat anatomy in the 4th grade in Tennessee public schools.

And you're in prime mispronunciation territory.  Watch a couple boat reviews, and you will hear it.

Fishing industry mispronunciations - Like pronouncing it KamaGatsu - reversing the G and K is done a lot too.. Or Sinko vs. Senko… many other malaprops in fishing… lol

I should have clarified, I was referring to in person pronunciation.  Not on video.

 

Regardless, most around here refer to them as a "tiller" or "wheel" boat.  Tiller boats outnumber wheel boats here by a fair margin because walleye is king.

A tiller is what most bass heads should buy when looking at anything under 18'.  The layout makes more sense.  I loved my 17' tiller.

I agree.  Saves a lot of space without the "CON-SUL" there lol

^ I could have gone console when building Bass Trek, but decided on a tiller to give me a bit more room. I have no complaints about it.

Don’t care how people pronounce it as long as they don’t spell it “counsel”. 😀

Love my 12 footer! 

 

I’ve never run across that but many times daily I notice people using then when it should be than and there for their.  Maybe elementary school should be 12-14 years.

Writing for Yamamoto and being edited by a professional doesn’t let me get away with any writing errors and I’ve learned over the years.  My biggest cringe….

 

I have my boat for sell….Instead of….

I have my boat for sale.

I watch the used drums and percussion market like a hawk, and "symbols for sell" is about as common as "Diawa."

Loose instead of lose 🙄

 

I shouldn’t judge but it drives me crazy. 

Transit instead of transom.😂

Petal, peddle, pedal, paddle....

I'll purposely misspell words in memory of @Long Mike
