Tesla vs Tezla?

[Chaserr]

It's like Porsche. There's the actual right way to say it, and there's the way most Americans actually do say it. You can tell them all they're wrong but y our job will never end, so just say it your way and hope the rest figure it out.

YES or is it YEZ.....in the English language a "S" is pronounced "S". Tezla is very annoying and grammatically incorrect.

I guess I’ve been mispronouncing “has”, “is”, and “business”. If we’re to tell all the people at Disney, I guess we should get busy.

Yep, but it all depends on what the definition of the word is, iz.

Being fluent in the Serbian/Croatian language of Nikola Tesla myself it is correct to say tess-la. The "a" is short, so it is better than usual "tess-lah". Nikola is pronounced with emphasis on the "i".

This is true, but I don’t expect native English speakers to be able to say it 100% correctly. Tess-lah is perfectly acceptable but Tezla, just no!

Whenever you say "in the English language ___ is pronounced ___" you MUST follow it up with "except when ___ or ___".
