"but who knows?"
I do!
According to Jim, it's pronounced Jar - mish (he answered this in the Q + A on the blu-ray release for either Down By Law or Mystery Train (I can't remember which, they both have Q+A's instead of commentary tracks).

I've always thought 'Jar-moosh' but who knows?

jar-mush is the way i first heard it on bored to death some time ago so i've always pronounced it that way and never considered another. i only heard "jarmoosh" just recently.

Do the beep snow angel, Dude!, Do the beep snow angel!

lol okay, stop being all difficult with semantics. i am canadian, so i say DANCE like a normal north american would, with a long(?) A sound, daaaance. charles dance, the british actor, pronounces his last name like the british say the word DANCE, like dawnce when i say the actor charles dance's name, i pronounce the word dance like he does.
It's mercy, compassion and forgiveness I lack. Not rationality

Ask him how he pronounces it.

here's something, you're a doucher

and, nothing.

I don't think it's an infantile response, and nor is it an aggressive one, so there's no need to become insulting. You claim that a person's name should be pronounced as they choose to pronounce it, and I simply gave you a scenario which followed this rule and asked if you agree with it. Do you?

I'm not surprised that you mentioned your mother in such an infantile response.

So if I incorrectly pronounce my own name 'Weshley', does that mean my mother should start copying the way I say my name?

incorrect. it's a person's name, and you should pronounce it as he does (or as close as you can if english is not your first language. it's most like "JARmish".

It's a name; how you pronounce it depends on where you're from.
Do you say 'Paris' or 'Paree'? 'Rio' or 'hee-oh'?
