Mistakes

[edit]

NOTE: I copied this from the article page. I don't know who wrote it, but it certainly didn't belong there.

The name "Wankel" is incorrectly pronounced as "WANK-el". As the engine was developed in Germany, it is pronounced "VAWNK-el". (This is fairly standard in the U.S., or other English. MANY names, places and more are pronounced differently than in the original locations. Starting with Volkswagen, for that matter, correctly pronounced "FOLKS-vaag-en", not "Volks-wag-en", or "PORSH-Uh" rather than "PORSH" for Porsche. So seems inappropriate to single out one "mispronunciation".) OckRaz talk 21:45, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
