That match, the Dennis/Scott match, and the recent one pocket poll by PJ. The question normally comes up a couple times a year, but we had a bit more impetus this month.

My name Book Collector , everyone gets it wrong, it's actually pronounced
Buck Klectar.
I got it because I used to Klect the Buck.

Yeah, I’m aware of Mao.....he still gets called that sometimes.
...but nobody calls him The Chairman....he’s been keeping other people in their chairs.
In Spain they pronounce LL as J.
As is pollo would be PO JO.
I think that would be more of a south/latin american way of pronouncing it. :yes:

Dennis doesn't care!
I saw Dennis talking about the spelling of his last name. He doesn't really care, the checks cash with either spelling!

Countless mistakes were made with people crossing borders.
Semi-literate government agents in Canada and the US forced their own interpretations
on immigrants.....and sometimes it was just bad penmanship.
A pool player from Tahiti was named Guy Cho-SI-Nam...
...I asked him how he got that name.....his father’s full name when he went to Tahiti was
Cho, Si Nam....(family name Cho))...the officials didn’t like that so they made his full name
his family name....and then gave him a French first name....
...so his son inherited the problem.
