ah, "e-folio" ! actually i like that one as well. you can see in

The one time I enjoyed not understanding french when it was spoken was when I was dating a young woman from Ecuador. I always knew what mood she was in when that happened.

yep, that's right. for those not sure how to pronounce the german ö, it's like the vowel sound in the english words "her", "fur", etc.

(on the other hand, here we could have all too many people mauling the eu... and reading it like a closed e *shudders* then again they'd maul the read part of reader anyway...)
