Speaking of Stihl, I wonder how y'all pronounce it? I was thinking
"stile" or "steel," but when I went to buy one of their products, the
guys at the dealer said it was "still." But yesterday I watched an
online video produced by the company and the fellow was saying "steel."


The company was founded by Andreas Stihl of Zurich, Switzerland
He set up the company, Stihl Maschinenfabrik, in Stuttgart, Germany, in 1926
The company pronounces it as 'steel'.
