Granted, the writing/drawing styles are quite different... perhaps it's a

Ummmm...actually, I believe you'll find that 'Joaquim'
is pronounced 'waw - KEEM' in native Portugese.

Hmmm... I must've been in Korea too long... I pronounce 'kim' the same way I
pronounce 'keem'. *shrug*

You've been in Korea too long. The western world pronounces
'Kim' as 'Kihm' (short 'i,' as in 'Kimberly').
It's time to get outta there, man. Nothing but short people
with black hair and brown eyes. Dull. Don't-cha miss blondes
and red-heads? :)

Why am I only getting half of this conversation? :\ For the record,
"Joaquim" is pronounced "zshoo-ah-keeinh", approximately. Or "shwah-king"
when said a bit faster and less articulated. I graciously permit Swedish
people to adress me using the Swedish counterpart "Joakim", i.e.
"yoo-ah-kihm", since it's less of a hassle.

Yeeeeah... :)
But just for the record, I have seen tall Koreans, just not many. And there
are plenty that dye their hair, especially the younger ones (neon green and
bright red are quite popular). But on that note, I must admit that I prefer
"original" over "originality". :)

Oops, well, that's one less coincidence then... still, it -is- suspiciously
close... :)

Because it contains a certain degree of wry and subtle American
humor, which goes beyond just the printed words; there's a large
amount of 'cultural' content that is difficult for a non-native
reader to discern.

That =is= gracious! :)
How does Veronica Karlssen address you?
hakim
Just for the record, my name tends to be pronounced either:
1. Ha - keem (probably closer to the original arabic pronunciation of
the name)
2. Ha - kim (with short 'kim')
I used to think that the second version was easier to
pronounce - Hakim was quite an unusual name in the UK! So my oldest
friends call me Ha*kim*. Later I discovered that people seem to be
more familiar
with Ha*keem*, so most people call me that now.
3. 'A - kiim (French)
4. Ah - kim (Italian #1)
5. A - keem (Italian #2)
6. Huh - kim (Finnish)
...and funnily enough my surname is Gunderhan ;->
Cheers,
Osfameron (hakim)

No no no, who is dwe...@kornet.com? I saw your part of the conversation,
but it seemed like you were talking with yourself... :\ Ah, now I saw in
hakim's post that it's Phydeaux. I didn't see his posts, for some odd
reason.

I know. :)
> How does Veronica Karlssen address you?
Her name is "Karlsson", and since we've only chatted, she types "Joaquim". I
have no idea how or even if she pronounces it.
