I am partial to GM-Z, but that is probably too close to DMZ for comfort.

Like learning a new pitch, it just takes a bit of repetition. Spell out Zduriencik carefully a few times, and it’ll be second nature. I’m already at the point where I only need to double check the “ie” vs “ei” part. That and my fingers always want to capitalize the D for some reason: ZDuriencik.

For clarification since it came up in another thread:, the current mods are myself, Mike Snow, and Graham.

Sure, but can Zack Jduriencik pronounce â€œSequimâ€ and â€œPuyallup?â€

If so, maybe he can teach Simsâ€¦

That would be good. I also agree with Jeff Nye, on just about any thread regarding Zduriencik, his name will be spelled out by someone who know how to spell it, often the writer of the thread. It would take perhaps 10 seconds out of your life to spell his name correctly. Come on.

This has been niggling at me a lot lately.

I understand it’s a mildly difficult name to spell, but I think that he deserves enough respect from us that we can learn how to spell it out fully.

I don’t think people MEAN to be disrespectful, but think of it this way; if you walked up to him on the street, would you call him Jay-Z or some of the other ridiculous names that people have been using?

Zduriencik. It’s easy.

Itâ€™s funny, Zduriencik is a name that many people in the Milwaukee area know how to pronounce. Come out here, very few people could say it correctly while only looking at the name

I liked “Trader Jack” as soon as I read it in the “Pitch F/X” link, by Seidman (spelled according to title on his article, not the incorrect spelling Dave used.) I have no problem spelling Zduriencik in the first place though.
