This stupid thing has been kicking around for a few years now, and I get it forwarded to me from someone gullible.

I've used my Swiffer WetJet for 3 years with no problems.

It seems every new cleaning product gets this rumor attached to it. Prior to Swiffer, it was Febreeze.

If Target isn't owned by the french why is the name pronounced as Tar-jay?

**Catty1** · 07-05-2006, 04:40 PM

Because people try to sound chic?

I'll check out the corporate information online later...but I bet there is no French connection (you should pardon the pun)

Target - pronounced the American way, is where you get merchandise, but the "fashion" items, when asked where one purchased it, one pronounces it Tar-zhay - so it sounds more expensive, see?

There Must Be A Lot Of Dolts With Time On Thier Hands As You Hearthe Same Nonsense Over And Over Again.
I Think That Theres A Site Urban Legends Exposed.
But I Guess That Some People Like To Sound Intelligent.

NO wonder they laughed at me when I went Tar-Zhay shooting!

My swiffer is named Ed- all white cats pick up dirt.
