BTW,in all seriousness, how do you pronounce your first name, is it roughly
like the word "chart",or do you actually put some "t" into it like
"Tchart",or like "Tyart"?

??? Technically, we are surrounded by four seas, but yes we have one very
long, rugged and beautiful coastline. Ahh that's one of the reasons why I
call this place HOME
Dennis
P.S.
Just to add to you list are:-
Harbour
Optimise
Standardise
Colourise
Four
and the list goes on... I am sure that out of the 830000 odd words that
there is a few more :)

You pronounce it "chart". Suppliers and customers from the far east,
french, and latin countries usually have a field day with my name.
Some of the attempts are non-printable! ;) I've even considered
adopting a 'business name' (also like the eastern people) like
"Chad", or "Charles" or something.
Then again, it is a constant source of amusement ;) One guy from
Taiwan asked to speak to "short". My collegues were very amuzed (I'm 6"4).

My guess is that it has a silent "T", and pronounced as Jarrt

Andy, you should probably not take the flame suit off as soon as you get
done saying something stupid, but leave it on until you people get finished
flaming you; that's why they call it a flame suit, get it? I may be wasting
badwidth with that advice as Rush's listeners by definition aren't too swift
on the uptake. I mean, they affectionately call themseleves 'dittoheads'
fer cryin out loud. Rope-tow politics for those too busy to think for
themselves.
