3. It's German, so it's pronounced
"Evil votestealer."

Hope that clears things up for you. :evilgrin:

5. One thing I learned about "ie" and "ei" words
in German.
You usually sound the last vowel.

6. I've been thinking "DYE-bold" in my head for years...
Never said it out loud, never heard it said. Go figure.

Wanting to talk more about it now.

Thanks everyone... DU is a great source for instant knowledge!

8. Di-a-bold
I've pronounced it Di-a-bold for over thirty years but I've got one of those lousy West Coast accents.
