This evening I had dinner with my grandfather and asked him about the pronunciation. He grew up on a rural Missouri farm in which they used a Willys as a tractor, plow, disc, mill, etc. He said, without a doubt, it is pronounced 'williss' and always has been.

Yup, and most people will swear to you that leaving a battery on a concrete floor will ruin it as well. Just because many other people say or do something doesn't make it correct.

I have heard that all my life.. I wonder where it starts.

 

Pronounce it however you wish, I guess. I just feel it is disrespectful to mispronounce the name of the man who fought to make jeep a civilian vehicle and nurtured it along for us to have today
