#175853 - At present, it's easy for me to explain Responding to: ???'s previous message |
There's a well-known football player whose surname is pronounced similarly to my own, though he spells it Urlacher rather than Erlacher. I figure I'll have no trouble getting reservations at trendy restaurants in weeks when the Chicago football team is in town ... Unfortunately, that doesn't happen due to league organization. <sigh> I could go to Chicago I guess ...
You should have heard some of the early attempts at pronouncing my name before I changed it when obtaining my U.S. citizenship. The first name, Ulrich, was a problem, too. RE |
