You're actually incorrect. The correct symbol for the pronunciation key is the upside-down "e", which is pronounced neither like a short "a", "e", "i", "o", or "u" in the English language, but is its own sound. For lack of that symbol in the ASCII character set, I substituted "a", which is close enough for anyone but the most meticulous of grammatists.

Nevertheless, whether the vowel symbol is accurate is irrelevant to the context of this thread, as I was not asking how the vowel is pronounced. I was asking whether the "h" preceeding the "i" is hard or silent. That's also why I only had 2 options at the beginning - they were enough to represent my question accurately.

Steve, as you can tell we get quite carried away here. Sorry...;Dr;

I've cringed at another owner saying...Ve-HIGH-cross.

And I cringe when I read this post and look at the poll! That would be real bad though!

This car is made in Japan right? Well since the Japanse can't pronounce the V it's called bee-closs here!
And so should you, my american/english/canadian friends, you English natives should stop turning each "foreign"word into something with an English pronounciation...

So all together....I LOVE MY BEE-CLOSS!

When you babelfish the Japanese for VehiCROSS it gets turned into "Beak Loss." This made me laugh the first time I used babelfish to view a Japanese web page...

Ok well I think the proper way to pronounce it would be like alaska does, but I think it rolls off the tongue easier with the silent H......Just my 2 cents.....
