Dear Andy Marquis

[vraiblonde]

Pronounce your last name. I keep calling you "Andy Mar-kwis" (like a European nobleman) and Larry says it's "Andy Mar-kee" (like a sign over a theater).

Which is it?

Wow, you are really something when you have become the breakfast topic at Casa de la Gude.

This is what we do in the morning over coffee - discuss politics and current events - points that forumites have made come up.

They're just waiting for the Azzy invasion.

Bite your tongue.

To be rid of her here in these forums, you sure bring up her name quite often. I guess some people actually miss Azzy.

I always thought it was "Markese" :shrug:

Not hardly... we still talk about Zuchick, ceo_pte and the likes as well too...

I say it like "Andy Mar-kee"

I just want to know one way or the other - I hate pronouncing peoples' names wrong. Used to have a hell of a time with Ylexot until he posted what it was.

Everybody should have a Advanced delusionary schizophrenia with involuntary narcissistic rage pet. :shrug:

I say it that way too.

Andy! Andy!

Yeesh, I can't believe he's working at a time like this.

I still want to pronounce Ylexot's name wrong, even though I know what it is.

Me, too. :doublehigh5:

Name an example where Marquis is pronounced "mar-kwis"...I'm intrigued. I've always pronounced it "Mar-kee", and the only name I can think of is Marquis de Sade.

Huh, you learn something new every day. Kinda reminds me of the time D came to my house once when we were first dating. We'd recently watched A Streetcar Named Desire (my favorite), and he commented that he passed a Dubois (he pronounced it the French way) Rd on the way to my house. I had to correct him and tell him that the locals pronounce it "Doo-boys".

And P.S. Mr. John Markwis needs an attitude adjustment. If I knew him I'd pronounce his name wrong on purpose.
