Yeah, I hear a lot of swerve, or I guess I should say Mwerve or Mwervey! Big Grin And that's okay with me, I still recognise it and know they mean me. P I've learned to drop the umlauts from my surname though because most of the time people asking my whole name are typing it on a computer and there's no time to figure out where to find those funny dots... Big Grin

But no, Finnish is very simple in the way that we faithfully pronounced every single letter that is written down and every time the letter sounds the same too (yes I'm looking at you English vowels!) There are no silent letters, no potato, potatoe.

A lot of travelling Asians seem to adopt English names for the duration of their trip to make things easier, but I've decided to be difficult and stick to my given name and identity. If I take the trouble to learn your language over several years to communicate with you, you can take one minute to learn to write five letters in the correct order. Stirring
