And that reminds me, in turn, of the many many discussions I've had with my four-year-old son over a character named Kaori on this snowboarding game he likes to play. The announcer presents her as 'Kay-or-ee'. Which makes me twitch. But when I say the name (and I'm sure I still sound far too close to 'cow-ree'), he'll tell me 'No, mom, it's Kay-or-ee'. And I have to explain, time and again, that yes I understand that's what the game said but honey, the game is wrong.
Anyway. Thank you, again, for the tips and insights. ^_^
