To brighten your Tuesday-that-feels-like-a-Monday: today's installment of the Xaira Pronunciation Nation features our VP Ci Chu and his tots. While we've heard a lot of interesting versions of our name, we have to admit that Godzilla is our very favorite.
You know this language that we speak,
Is part German, Latin and part Greek
Celtic and Arabic all in a heap,
Well amended by the people in the street
Choctaw gave us the word "okay";
"Vamose" is a word from Mexico way.
And all of this is a hint I suspect of what comes next. ...more lyrics found on: "Pete Seeger - All Mixed Up Lyrics | SongMeanings"
On the power of names. They matter. Learn pronunciation and practice if you don’t get it right the first time. Don’t shorten for your convenience.

"In your passage through this world, whether you realize it or not, whoever you are and wherever you go, you are leaving a trace behind you.
Other people will notice it and can follow it. It can be a trail that leads them to good, or it can lead them astray. This depends on you.
It may be that your trail is marked on the trees, to make it visible to those who follow you, or instead, it may be that you inadvertently leave recognizable footprints in the sand. In both cases it is good to remember that some type of trace is always left behind; and therefore, by turning your steps in the right direction, you can also direct those who follow you well.
Your track is marked by actions, the sentences you say, and the words you write. Actions are permanently set milestones; sentences are just footprints that time can alter or erase; Written words are notches consciously left on trees" - B.P.
