[QUOTE="Jeremy"]I still laugh about a message you left on my voice mail before 5erFest 03, Mr. Coo-vee-yon! The way you said it was just hilarious to me, you probably put special emphasis on it due to my damn Yankee speaking butchering it the first time I called you, lol. I'll never forget how to say it Cajun-correctly, though. :D

Yeah, I pronounce it slowly for yanks the first few times I talk to them! :p

If you learn the German alphabet, you'll understand why it's pronounced Heart-geh

Ah, Bay, Say, Day, Eh, Eff, Geh, Hah, Eee, yoit, ka, ehl, em, n, oh, pay, coo, ehr, ess, tay, ooo, fau, vay, icks, epsilon, zet.

BMW - bay em vay

Or something like that...

Just like here in the states, even in Germany you can run accross a hundred different ways to pronounce any word. I do speak a bit of German, and can understand my wife, but when dear ole dad starts talking with the deep Bavarian slang.... well you get the picture.
