How Do You Pronounce Thiel?

The receptionist, I believe, has a Kentucky accent, and it comes out "Till." But everyone is correct, it's like the color.

Does the name of the color come from the duck or the name of the duck come from the color? In a related question: which came first, the duck or the egg?

Duckling becomes duck.

"The receptionist, I believe, has a Kentucky accent, and it comes out "Till."

Know is that like "to cultivate the ground" or "up to the time of"?

You have to love the English language. :-)

Nice speakers by the way.

It is as mentioned, pronounced TEEL or TEAL but you must lean back about 5-7 degrees to make it sound correct! Just as BOSE pronounced BOZE should be pronounced facing in the opposite direction and Klipsch pronounced CLIP-SHH should be pronounced with your hands cupped on either side of your mouth.:)
