[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe it's because Seuss, which was his Bavarian mother's maiden name, should actually be pronounced "Soyce" in German (the "eu" dipthong is said "oy") while a name pronounced "Soos" should be spelled "Suess." It trips me up every time. Perhaps we should work on getting people to pronounce the name correctly and then they will spell it correctly. Or else not worry about spelling mistakes on an anonymous forum. [/quote] Agree. And while we're at it, Americans should learn how to pronounce Van Gogh correctly too (or at least in a way that has a little more relation to being correct).[/quote]
