  • Contrary to popular belief, there's no T in Leibniz

    So the relevant quote is wrong in that regard.

    While I'm certain you guys have better to do than correcting this - I find it's worth mentioning.

    There is in English!!!
    The 'standard' transliteration of a German 'z' is 'tz'.

        In english the 'z' sound is like a bee buzzing. So Liebniz ends in a kind of silly 's' sound. Not very german sounding

          Mein Führer! I can walk!

          Well, I didn't know that. What about French names? I'm certain they don't get adopted to English pronunciation?

              It's a n issue for Apolyton/Communism. There's a post-post quote that contains that name.

                You are right Ecthelion, but, oh boy, who really cares about that?
