: Ok, I can't help myself any longer. Can anyone tell me how to pronounce
: "Guillemot"? I embarass myself trying to tell friends where I
: learn this stuff. AND how do you get those cute smiley faces on your
: posts?

I say:

Guillemot: gee-la-mot, "gee" like "gear", "mot" like "lot". I've met a French guy with this name and he didn't like the way I say it.

Schade: SHA-da. My grandfather father insisted we say it in the German manner.
