Zaikesman's Username Pronunciation Field Guide

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!

(And the rest of you stop snickering :-)

Did someone say something about Chinese bottoms? Heheh.

Oh, I get it! Are you referring to "Kampai!"?

That's what Japanese say right before they down a shot of Chivas or Crown. Hah!

SC53,

Jeff Logan (no relation to the Martin Logan speakers). Irish descent, but oddly enough I live in an area of the world where I speak more French than English. Given enough time (and good wine) I suspect I could learn Spanish easily enough.

Cheers, Jeff

Well, not exactly hard to pronounce or a prescription drug but derived from me getting the wild idea of putting a V-8 engine under the hood of my 91 Mazda RX7, and then wouldn't you know, Mazda later comes out with an RX8 !! Not like mine though, I was first, ha ha !! Thanks for the clarification Zaikesman, what nationality, German ?

I always figured Jeffloistarca was Jeff and Lois Tarca. This thread is turning my world upside down!

There's a Japanese restaurant nearby called Gombei. Don't know what it means.

Tireguy, but you use a different name in those movies you make, don't you? BTW I would very much like to see pictures of you (AWESOME I am sure) 3.6s. Also I read your comments about Sound Lab speakers, it seems a natural progression to me, I hope you get a pair some day so I can read your comments.

BTW mine is pronounced: phil joe let

like my name: Phil Jolette
