Last week, a radio sports commentator kept referring to the Jacksonville Jaguars football team as "the Jag-wires." I've heard others mispronounce it that way, also. This puzzles me, as I'm not sure why the "uars" syllable in Jaguars would lead people to pronounce it "wires."
After all, we don't typically ask if a lifegwired is on duty or go to the store for a qwiret of milk.
