Or go Muenchian. (Btw how do you pronounce that?)
I hope Steve speaks up to remind us of the interesting fact that his family
pronounces his name "Minch", which appears to be an adaptation (and as such
fairly unusual) of a German umlaut into English. (I see, Jeni has already
done so.)
The vast majority of Americans will fake it and get it wrong, and say
something closer to "Munchian" with a short 'u' as in the way they (we) say
"Punjab". And Americans hate to be told they're wrong. :->
(Sorry, OT)
