Idk. Why do people say IJZ?

I isn't anywhere near the 1 key and I shutter think anyone thinks the engine is actually called IJZ regardless if "I" looks like "1"

Here's one of my pet peeves. MKIII

People who pronounce it "Em K Three" really irritate the shit out of me.

MK has always been the abbreviation for "Mark" - (usually initial capital letter) U.S. Military. a designation for an item of military equipment in production, used in combination with a numeral to indicate the order of adoption, and often abbreviated: a Mark-4 tank; an M-1 rifle.

People, but especially Supra owners, saying Em K Three instead of "Mark Three" irritates the crap out of me.

Why do so many in the internet community call the Supra Mark anything, when Toyota never gave it that indicator, like they did with Corolla?

I like to call the A70 MK1 at times since there was no Supra until 86 in Japan.

but that makes 'Mk2' people really pissy. :]
