Playmobil like Exxon-Mobil or Playmobil like Mobile, Alabama?

Curious.

The French way...:) (Mobile, AL)

Though, now that you mention it, considering that they're German, it's probably the other way!

Mobile, AL.

Good question, though! I wonder what the true pronunciation is?

Thank you. I just saw this. Well that settles that. I was pretty sure it was Alabama, but a DF always pronounces it Exxon....

That would drive me batty. Totally, completely, irrationally batty. Sort of a fingernails-on-chalkboard kind of shiver when I think of it! lol

I'm tempted to put it on the wishlist we have for DC because MIL mispronounces everything. Everything. And all three of her sons have adopted her variations. Drives all three SIL nuts. Can't wait to hear some of them over t'giving.

Like Alabama. I want to say when we were kids they used to have TV commercials and that's how they said it!
