"How does one say Qatar in English? I've heard CUtter, Gutter, and KaTAR. Must be one of those Peking/Beijing things."
The Mr, after returning from same last July confirmed for me that it is indeed CUtter.

The Mr, after returning from same last July confirmed for me that it is indeed CUtter. In English it is pronounced Guitar. True over there they say CUtter, but the same oilfield people who for some reason in the 80's started insisting we say it the way they do, damn sure don't pronounce Germany, Italy, Mexico or Venezuela the way the locals do.
