Kip Lang, Kip Lang, Kip Lang, damn you!

Now, I know it's a misspelling of my name, but I seem to have to constantly write articles dropping the name "Kip Lang" so people can get to me (there are more search strings coming in for "Kip Lang" than there are for "Kip Lange") And no, it's not pronounced "Lanj". It's pronounced like it sounds, with the e silent, so yes, while it sounds like "Lang", it's actually "Lange".

Clear anything up for you folks?

No it isn't...
For me, your name will always be pronounced ze correct Germanico-Teutonic way - best way I can describe it is like "clanger" without the "c", i.e. a softer "g" than in "anger", but not as soft as in "badge", and the "e" not silent.

Well, Dave, my man, you're pretty close with that -- the only one that really bothers me is Kip "Lanj" (good for filtering out credit agencies and stuff, though, hehe).

But what the hell, you're one of those people I'll let call me anything. Except "my bitch". ;-)

/K/
