Mauriat

How about Mauriat? Is there an official pronunciation?

 

[littlemanbighorn]

There's a band I met last week, called '!!!'. Pronounce that!

It's pronounced Chhk Chhk Chhk or any other 3 repeated sounds. Most call them Chhk Chhk Chhk since that was the first option for pronunciation on the sticker on the cover of the first record.

Gwar-dhala......in Italian means " look at her "....but again not all the Italian names are still pronounced as in the " old country"....how does the Man call himself?

 

[retread]

" ....how does the Man call himself?

"The defendant"

 

[Reedsplinter]

I think it's gone beyond that. Now he calls himself #5469827. In German.

Nickname he's called by his 300-pound "wife": the license plate king.

"The defendant"

No that's the D.A. that calls him like that.....are you a plaintiff?

Stanely Turrentine -- TUR-IN-TEEN or TUR-IN-TINE?

Actually I already know the answer but thought it might be a worthwhile addition since it used to trip me up.

But what a name at that--and not just the surname. At the risk of the PC crowd jumping all over me, I must say I have never heard of another African American with the first name Stanley--now a Jewish male, yes....

Swingtone - if you know the answer, then you should go and tell this poor chap - he's been waiting for an answer since 2003...

It's got to be "teen"...

How about Stanley Clarke ? Or Stanley Jordan ?

As you can see from my avatar, I'm not African American, but I could take offence at the Jewish comment...
