    Regardless, (or Irregardless, if you prefer,):p of how you say it, it still means "Big Truck!" (Unless of course, you are NOT talking about a "Big Truck," but a semicolon, or a semi-formal or some such nonsense.):D

    see me sounds better, but in Europe they may call it articulated lorry, lorry, in Germany it is LKW)

    To call semi eighteenweeler is not correct now, becouse trucks of different wheel configuration are used now, single tires go popular all over the world
     
    blairandgretchen and Big Don Thank this.

    True that, Pablo, but then this here is 'Merica where lots of things ain't pronounced correctly. Also, over here, Lorry is a woman's name, though usually spelled a little different. ;)
