If someone helping others do things right bothers you so much, then yes, ignore is exactly what you should do. It is a bit cute observing that you somehow seem to think this is something that I should fear / worry about / dislike though.

Proper nouns that are pronounced differently in English than in the country of origin: Paris, Germany, France, Spain, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Rome, Naples, Mexico, The Hague, China, Japan, Athens, Greece, Venice, Orleans, Ypres . . . .

Awesome!

Sure you uploaded the changed version on thingi? Re-downloaded now and seems unchanged.

According to Wikipedia the diameter of the IRIS-T body is 127mm. At 1:9 scale that makes 14.1.mm for the model, which is what I made it.

Thingi is having problems. Try re-loading, you may have a cached version.

Only in YOUR limited mind does this seem to be the case.
I've posted up a link showing how different people pronounce it and even the Swedes pronounce it in different ways. I've watched for months how you and others fight with one another and throughout it all, it's been YOU, who have been the worst perpetrator. It's just not worth reading your garbage any further. I guess it's time for another to go on the IGNORE list. GOOD BYE!

Well, I guess if it is a life goal of yours to avoid pronouncing every foreign word incorrectly, then sure.

Tomato, tomaato ..................... Let's put this thing to rest. It's a ridiculous debate. Pronounce it however you want. It's like that whole crap about "tail heavy", "tail heavier", "nose heavy", "nose heavier". EVERYBODY knows what you're talking about. (Where's that FACEPALM emoji?)

What's wrong with those who DO speak the language in question trying to teach those who don't?

Kind of funny how the nose wheel on this plane looks almost identical to a Freewing nose wheel. 😲

No, it's not! :)
And I couldn't care less about what you think is or isn't crap, tbh.

You can keep those comments to yourself and spare the readers of actual useless 'crap'.

Best regards,
Jandro.

Is someone gripin' about pronunciation?

Great, my bad :D

Changed the diameter too.

[janmb]

Not sure, he doesn't seem to be serious...

lol very true, but he pronounces Gripen perfectly.

[Radar-Guy]

Kinda poor example since this is a Swede trying to speak English at the time.

Far better Swedish pronunciation to be heard in this video: https://youtu.be/FWAyPWAUfMU

There aren't any fins on the nose part. If you read the comments you would know what they are.

Great, my bad :D

[kallend]

Great job!

Would propose the following changes:

- Lose the aft fins on the nose part. They should not be there.
- The body diameter should probably be increased a tiny tad. The diameter should be almost exactly the same as each of the large vanes.

Just a quick question: Is it pronounced: "grippin" or "gripe'n"?

The latter. At least that will be far closer.

G + reap (what you sow) + en (as in the last two letters of an egg-laying hen)

In general pronounced far slower than most Americans by instinct would.
