MonOstatos ou = like 'o' in clown or in clooney ;] Mm, the vowel sound in American English "clown" is different from French "ou" -- it rhymes with "wow," if that helps. I'm not really sure how it's pronounced in British English, which I'm guessing is what you might be more familiar with. sweatdrop

For the record, people, "Turquie" is not "dinde" and "dinde" is not "Turquie."
Try not to confuse them.

I know. I just about died of laughter. A lot like the time that I saw a sign in the mall that said "PET SALE," but they weren't trying to speak French there, I don't think...
