:@Arseniiv: The term "monzo" was after me by Gene Ward Smith. My ancestry is Italian, in which language letters are always pronounced the same. The "z" in my name is pronounced like the"z" in "zebra". A "zz" in Italian is pronounced like "ts" in English. However, in Italian the "o"s in my name should be pronounced like all of those in "Yoko Ono", but often in America (where I live), only the final "o" is pronounced that way, the first one often pronounced like the "o" in "optic", which is basically how I pronounce it myself. | |||
