Lets be honest, were all from the internet and barely and of us know eachother in person, so we most likely screw up their last names, heres a thread where you can sound it out and make sure people know it :)
Riley Morrell
Ry-Lee More-ell (like the letter L)

Always wondered about some GPROer names, still a bit difficult to explain for foreign names, anyway
['fraŋko] that should be the right phonetics letters
Dei you pronounce it like Day
Cas... well... like Cat but with a S at then instead :P

Not like that sneaky Michael Cubskee, with his weird sounding name;

Flo-re-an (not aen)
tzä(e)hr-mann (not aen)
a is always pronounced like a-rstray :) and twice nn means the a is short.
In english it is:
Flo-re-an
Sir-man :)

Not really sure how the c sounds in polish :P
We should actually record the pronunciation and put it online, it would be fun to hear other GPROer voices :D
