8?) Even in my short trip (~5 weeks) I found myself pronouncing things with
an accent, just to get the Murkans to understand!!

I'm thinkin of adding many more "name pronounciation" keys. I'd like to know
how to say Larry's last name,

Didn't actually ask the Pieniazeks how they pronounce it, but I say it like
Peen-yart-sik, accent on the 2nd syllable. Or maybe even Pin-yart-sik. Lar?

for example, and there are many more I have no

last names, especially. I'm sure it's obvious to everyone except me...)
