We speak to each other and I wonder how my name sounds in your native language.  Sure, this post has nothing to do with photograpy but something to do with the international scope of the Renderosity.

I wonder how Valerie-Ducom sounds in her native Françias or in 
Español?  Oliver sounds rather flat if phonetically pronounced in my American English but in his tongue is lovely.  You Brits, well, we former colonists will likely flatten your names a bit as well. You have different empahsis and some twists of the tongue we do not use....

With members from Iceland to New Zealand and so many French and Spanish speaking folks with different dialect..it is wonder we get to talk as we do.  I owe much of that to your ability to speak English since I only know small bits of other languages and am not fluent in those.

This likely should be a thought and not a post. Well here goes anyway.
