My mom used to have to teach her ESL students limericks to understand how to
say "McDonough" In the end she resorted to saying "Madona with a Mc instead
of Ma." Even people who are supposedly used to Scottish and Irish names get
it wrong (we all say it "mick-done-uh" -- sorry, but I just don't understand
how to show how to say things by using capitalized letters and ampersands
^_^)
