Re: Pronunciation?

There is no silent "K" in German, so it's supposed to be " ka-nopp-ics", but nobody should *really* care if you pronounce it "noppics."

And BTW, the kernel is supposedly pronounced "leenoox." :twisted:

Ok, I've heard both KAA-NEW-PICKS and KAA-NAA-PICKS. Which one is correct?

:shock: Why would there be an "ooo" sound with (2) P's?
