His birth name was most likely       Georg, but if you spell it as in English, it should be pronounced as in       English.              If I saw "George" as a German name, I'd have to pronounce it "Gay-org-uh."              --       Gary McGath http://www.mcgath.com              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
