CHARMEACHEALLE...kinda throws off all attempts at my etymology.  Hooked on Phonics hates this name.

If you don't know how to pronounce MILO, you can get the eff out of Kansas. I's-70, 35, 135, etc.

I don't think it was so much that MILO is MY-Low as much as JARARD is Jared.

Do you think the students write out the pronunciations themselves on a small scrap of paper just like we had to do for graduation?

It's a life saver for broadcasters. We still butcher it, but it's nice to look at.

I recommend I-70, but that's just because I'm assuming the "mo" in mocat stands for Missouri.

It is.  Friend of mine went to high school with him and I remember asking him how Puetz's last name is pronounced last season...pits is correct.
