(nope)
It does prompt me to ask something I've been curious about for a while,
though...How is "LEGO" pronounced in different countries?
I know that everyone I know here (in Canada) pronounces it 'lay go', and I
suspect the same pronunciation holds across other English-speaking countries.
However, when I was in the Netherlands a while back, my (wife's) cousins
pronounced it 'lay ho'.
Are there any other variations out there?
