Hi guys!
I have one question for ya: does anybody know the correct spelling of the "tac" weapon (from Deadman Switch)? It's something like taclu....
 
Good question.
How also do you spell the invisible aliens in 'Show and Tell"?
Rhitou or Reetoo?
 
I'll have to hear what is said in order to try and answer Vera's question.

Rhi'tou or Rheeto depending on which page you look at on the official site. ;) I prefer Rhi'tou myself.

Cheers,
 
well i am going to stay clear of this one. Asking for my opinon on how to spell something is well... (thinking of a good simili here and failing) silly :)

is like asking a politician not to take money from special interest groups. ;)

Cheers,
 
or "like asking a philosopher to answer a question" ?
 
Close but no cee-gar.

The P is silently pronounced some what like in Puff or like saying the letter F but starting with your lips sealed p(uff)flew ga'

the second part, haupt - howpe'teh or like in Hauptmann

It translates roughly as plow boss or headsman

Class dismissed,test tomorrow. :)
 
Tell me do you get the same thing when someone calls you on the phone and doesn't know how to pronounce the name or doesn't want to mangle it?

When my last name was DiGesualdo (too many years ago and one husband ago), people would say "Hello is this Mrs. Dig(cough,cough, cough)? ;)

It was one of my mother's favorite ways to tease me. You went from Jones to that?

Cheers,

He, he, I have the same problem with my last name. I'm usually very surprised when someone can pronounce it correct. ;)
 
Yep, real name. I dont think cousin Klaus has any problems with it as he still lives in Germany where its not a big deal getting people to pronounce it correctly :)
