slightly off topic, i need to write a letter to someone's secretary... is "Tracey" a female or male name (or more accurately, can i safely assume it is female... it is a person in england)

Female, very much so. Which is why it's so funny that gangsta rapper Ice-T's real name is Tracy.

I suppose that's the 'T'.

Tracy or Tracey (form of Thracius (masculine) or short for Teresa/Theresa (feminine)) also Traci, Tracie----wiki

Female with stats to prove it!!...why do they bother to find out

Also, I noticed on the WWUH website that they say Charlie COAL hace... to the best of my knowledge, it's COAL haze.

I know Charlie - it's definitely COAL hace.

:mellow::blink: Gosh... sure wish he'd correct me when I introduce him, then. :rhappy: Probably just used to it. I shall fix it in the future... thanks, Jack.

Phineas Newborn, Jr.

I had always pronounced Phineas with a short i, as in Phineas T. Bluster.

But yesterday I heard Rhonda Hamilton on Sirius pronounce it with a long i. She is married to Michael Carvin, and she mentioned that she had once met Newborn, so I suppose she ought to know.

Anybody certain?

And how 'bout these Norwegians:

Knut Riisnaes (tenor)

Bjorn Alterhaug (bass)

Espen Rud (drums)

The first names are common of course (except Espen) but the last leave me wunnerin.

I wouldn't even DARE to imagine how this came out if pronounced by an English-speaking person of NON-Scandinavian descent. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

As far as I can see a passably correct pronounciation would be pretty hard or even impossible to transcribe in "writing" anyhow.
