I thought that was the Gundlach Radar?

Yes, in this case, "wollensak" is pronounced gund-loch or is that gund-lack or good-luck

Ah. Thank you!

I used to hear people say Nikon as knee-con rather than Nigh-con too, but the second pronounciation seems to have won out.

I blame Paul Simon, because he has a NIGH-kon camera and he LOVES to take photographs.

Heard some one pronounce Zeiss "zeese". Everyone knows it rhymes with ice, or so I thought.

Reminds me of the Monty Python sketch about the man whose name is pronounced Raymond Luxury Yacht, spelled S-M-I-T-H.

And then there are those who not only pronounce "Goerz" with a "T", they spell it that way too.

Emmanuel, in my limited experience US citizens are unique in wanting to pronounce foreign words as is correct in their native language. I find our practice strange since everywhere else in the world people seem to pronounce foreign words in their own language.

Apart from Las Vegas perhaps, I have heard the name pronounced Los Vegas hundreds of times on US TV, and why have there been so many changes to native American place names?

And how about that university with the famous football team near South Bend? Sounds nothing like the cathedral in Paris.
