For crying out loud, just call these manufacturers up and see what they say when they answer the phone.
Then you will cease sounding like a n00b when you say their names.

"Hello, Mar-zoh-key?"

Ha Ha! :lol: High five on that on, gastro!!*slap!* :p

But then you'll sound like a n00b again when you don't answer into the phone because you don't know what to say. ;)

No one gives high fives any more, n00b. :p

Yea, just slap her on the rear and send her on her way.

Don't make me start writing captions for your new avatar, e.g. "Woman in bra takes on giant egg with swords."

Sounds like someone is kicking you in the balls everytime you try to pronounce something eh.

If the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles didn't carry 'em, I don't know what they're called. <shrug>

Actually, it's red tank top and I think those 'swords' are just PVC pipe - - "Stand back, or I'll pummel you with plastic!"
