Well, at least some some German mathematicians who
were silly enough to put ö into their names have been
getting their names pronounced properly.
(I have a job at IKEA. In the Sweden Shop at IKEA. But
of course most people working there have no idea how
to read Swedish, so they do horrible things like
pronouncing 'Sås' as /sa:s/ even though it appears to
mean 'sauce' and, IIUC, is pronounced almost exactly
the same as our /so:s/. Silly Swedes. Couldn't you've
done the logical thing and spelt /o:/ as 'au'? I mean,
isn't there something underlyingly /o:/-y about 'au'?
