How Do You Pronounce Thiel?

Isochronism...
Thanks...been busy...I just posted (in November) a book that I wrote...on Amazon/Kindle.
Trying to sell some copies...hey, I'm a capitalist, lol.

As to, THIEL...it IS indeed Teel, or Teal, silent h.

Speaking of which..there's not a day that goes by that I don't think of my old friend Jim...a gentle soul, so smart he radiated unbelievable intelligence along with simultaneous gentleness....fun, funny guy...wow.

So...thanks for the kind words...if you'd like to buy my book...$2.99 for a download book...it's called, "In Plain Sight"..by L. R. Staples...and you do NOT need a Kindle to download it...there's a free PC App...I have it on my pc...I don't own a Kindle either.

I'll try to stay closer to the site guys..

Good listening,

Larry

AND,
Hifihvn, Actually, luckily for me, I've found several...but not the right one. Thought I had...but no.

Women are more frustrating than HI FI, if you can believe or understand that one.

Oh yes.

Hi Meinhard - just because three words would be spelled the same in a phonetic alphabet (which I do not dispute, by the way), does not mean that they are not pronounced differently. A phonetic alphabet is just a starting point, not an end result. I refer you to one of Bernard Shaw's most popular plays, Pygmalion, for a great discussion of this, both in the work itself and in Shaw's preface to it, where he advocates a phonetic alphabet (he actually left money in his will for this express purpose!). Any professional speaker such as an actor would make a difference between those three words, if they were spoken in close proximity, to aid understanding. And this discussion doesn't take into account accents, or other changes in pronunciation. In Shakespeare's time, for instance, "meat" was often pronounced "mayt."
