That's nothing. In successive Cons, I've found that I mispronounce
_all_ of the following:
Chaosium (!), Pavis, Mastakos, Issaries, and Entekos.
Especially embarrassing was the fact that in the last case, I was on a
panel with him at the time...
On the other hand, it's comforting that _no-one_ can say "Arfritha"
correctly Under Con Conditions...

"Waitress, this tea tastes lie diarrhoea!" "I'm sorry sir, I must have
given you coffee by mistake."

Not guilty! (I hope -- else it was the Reduced Spitfire talking...)
Please identify the guilty party(ies)...
Slainte,
Alex.
