I saw the video and still can't pronounce it. I'll just be calling him Andre for four years.

I think he said he was part Basque and Filipino, which accounts for some of the odd pronounciation.DarronThomas1 wrote:Since he's Russian I would guess it's gutturalZyme wrote:guttural roll (french/german) or front of the tongue (spanish)

I dunno, from listening to him pronounce it several times in a video interview I can't find anymore (it was from an Oregon news site after he'd committed), I think it's more like Eee-ruray-tago-yehna.

How about "Big A" squashes the opposition"... That headline has a certain roll to it.

That will be interesting, but we could also find Essig knows a little something and says it cleanly.ducklovinlady wrote:Who's looking forward to Essig saying this?
