OK, here's the deal: It's pronounced "Zikes'mn", not "Zakes-man" (accent on the first syllable with a long "i" and silent "a", the second syllable with a schwa "a"). Preferred 'nick-username' is Zaikes (rhymes with 'yikes').
Anybody else out there with a username having ambiguous/obscure correct pronunciation (you know who you are), here's your big chance to set us all straight!
Holzhauer is pronounced holes-hower the latter part rhyming with hour. Some in my family say Hole-sour which I don't particularly care for do to the variation sour-hole. It's obviously a German name and it means wood chopper or wood hitter.
I am indeed on the western tip of the island of Montreal, about 20 minutes from downtown. My office is in Ottawa but I spend the majority of my time traveling through the United States and Asia. Best, Jeff
Ernie, thats funny. When I went shopping for my last car, I was just about set on an Audi, until I checked out the Subaru. Being the value conscious buyer that I am, I ended up with the Subie.
