as both of them say in an interview (the one that's messed up by ae), it's aw-teck-er. it seems like the only people who have a problem wif it are somewhat french, or have knowledge of french pronunciation. meaning no disrepect to any french on the list, obviously. their pronunciation is just different than other pronunciations. they look at it and see "ou-tesh-rah".. sometimes... since you said toronto, and canada is bilingual, that makes sense. people who are unfamiliar wif the music seem to have a hard time wif it.. it's odd. i had a "friend" say "this is cool.. how do you pronounce it?"... heh, if you don't know, just blurt something out that looks right phonetically. sorry bout the rant :O) -=aethersplat +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ I am a kind of paranoiac in reverse.
