We have a pumper from Yorktown whose name is "Felix Kolodziejczyk"

I asked him one time to pronounce it for me....it sounds like cowla-gee-zik.

Yeah, funny how those foreign names sound absolutely nothing like how they're spelled. I was just throwing a pronunciation out there as to how I would've pronounced it, knowing full well I wasn't gonna be anywhere close.:D

i know right?

i am pretty good at naturally pronouncing things, but there is no way that when he told me what his name was, that i would have spelled it like that.

Yeah, I'm pretty good at spelling, and I wouldn't have come close to spelling that one right! Or if I saw the name in writing, without it being pronounced, there's no way I'd of pronounced it right, either!:D
