So, Zetec is pronounced "Zee Tech", right?
How is "Ghia" pronounced? I always thought it was similar to "Gear" but I've heard it spoken as "Gaia"?
One's slang for drugs, t'other's a Goddess.
Now my brain hurts
How could it possibly sound anything like "gear"?
I pronounce it as "ghee - ah" and most people seem to agree.

Gear - "Gea - er"
Ghia - "Ghee - ahh"

I have to say I do.
Its either you being NIrish, myself being english, or either local dialect maybe
Looking at that, you pronounce the end of "gear" with an "err" ? Which I dont, i pronounce it with more of an "a"
