My dear Mr. Dzikiewicz, The <space> is the least of the awkwardness. Shoot, I have a hard enough time spelling "Stevenson"! (We have this security logging thing that tracks attempted logins. It's embarrassing how many variants on my name are in there.) Sorry, I couldn't resist. One of my favorite authors is named Budziszewski. The closest I can come to pronouncing it in my Standard American English (SAE) dialect is "Boo-duh-SHEFF-ski". My sister married into a Dutch surname, "Schreurs", which they pronounce "Skrooss", which rhymes with "Bruce". I've wanted to ask you how you pronounce "Dzikiewicz", or at least what approximation you would find acceptable by us poor sots whose tongues are limited to SAE. All meant in fun. I'm happy to beat up on my own ethnic group with Ole&Lena jokes if Charles "hardnosed moderator" Barouch wouldn't kick us out of the pool. Happy Thanksgiving, Chuck P.S. I have a friend who gets around it by telling generic ethnic jokes, as in "How many ethnic guys does it take to ..." P.P.S. But that's sexist, isn't it? It only picks on the men. ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
