I've always wondered also myself. I've always pronounced it A(long a sound)n-gus. Can't wait to hear how you actually pronounce it.

It's a fun question though, as you never realize how ppl can read a title completely differently than what you had in mind when choosing it.

Yeah, how do you pronounce Jegrezo? In my head it sounds like jeh-greez-oh

If anyone needs any help with "Pete" I can send you an MP3 of the proper pronunciation. :thumbsup2
