I saw an advertisement for Jaguar's P-FACE and thought:

Why on Earth would they give a vehicle such a name? That's disgusting!

I saw the image before reading your post text and immediately read the model name the same way you did.

Maybe it’s just the typeface they’re using (though “pee face” is more phonetically natural than “eff pace,” coloring how people will generally read the term), but you’d think the marketing department would sound the alarm. Not so much because of its amusing misread, but because the slip-up is a branding issue in general.

This reminds me of the Hyundai hubs and I saw in Saudi Arabia when Hyundais first became available. The way the letters were made it looked like it said: HYUNDRI. We thought, for a long time, those little cars were called High and Dry.

Guessing the teaming of Microsoft and Jaguar had something to do with the deletion?

Jaguar is built in the UK so if you want to use a truly foreign language, that language should be Cockney.
