On the other hand, is better not to try Curry, since the French
pronounce
<br>
it: Queue-rhrhrheeee. This is for me absolutely inacceptable and
scandalous,
<br>
since thus, they confuse him with Madame Curie, who was Polish, and I
am
<br>
a patriot. And after a few years, people from some Other Respectable
<br>
Cultures will think that Haskell discovered Radium (for French:
Hhhhudiomm). <br>
Thank you for this inspiring and awfully useful discussion. <br>
Jerzy K. (K is pronounced as K, the name of some heroes of Kafka, who
was
<br>
a Germanophone Czech Jew. Do not confuse his K with another K, by Dino
<br>
Buzzati, who was Italian). <br>
<br>
=== <br>
(*) Pronounced //possibly// as Che Guevara, with Guevara replaced by
Valier.
<br>
Now, Valier is a mountain in Les Pyrenées,

<br>
and the first person who climbed it was a bishop. The second one was
also
<br>
a bishop, so perhaps Tim should be careful. <br>
Some more messages on this subject, and I will have really to call an
<br>
ambulance so they can take me away, far from Internet... <br>
