Top Gear did reach out to Dacia and ask how it was pronounced, but Dacia took so long replying to the email that by the time they did, Top Gear had already filmed it saying Day-see-er. It was too late. And because of the enormous reach of Top Gear at the time, that pronunciation became solidified in people's minds. Or at least this was the story told by Richard Porter, the ex Top Gear producer, on his podcast. permalink fedilink source parent [+] longlivemysugardaddy@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] rollin@piefed.social 1 point 10 months ago Ah ok that's one I'd heard (the other being Day-see-ah like the other guy said).
