48. AAARRRGGGGHHHH!!!! It's Ja-gyooer.....
Emphasise the "Ja" (like Jam without the m) followed smoothly by a soft "g" and "yoo er". You don't need a hard "g" in there, unless you're shortening it to "Jag".

Actually, Jag-warr really annoys me as a pronunciation....it's shocking.

Regarding shit vs shite - they're pronounced differently but essentially mean the same thing. First one is how it looks, second one rhymes with "light", or even "lite", as you people like to spell it.

Although they mean the same thing, you're more likely to use shite for emphasis, and it's more of a Northern thing. You'd "go for a shit", but you might say that something was "complete shite" - it's used as an adjective normally.
