anders deutsch

German-speaking people have problems prounouncing my last name. It includes an 'oe' which they are used to pronounce in a special way. But in my name it is actually pronounced as an 'o' followed by a distinctive 'e'. I know they cannot know, so I explain. Today this again led to quite some irritation. I had the impression that the person I spoke to wanted to tell me the correct way of pronouncing my name. A recurring experience.
