Here's what I don't understand. How is that you work for ESPN presumably listen to everyone else pronounce Chytil correctly, and you still pronounce it Cheadle? Come on Mess!
Actually, none od you Americans pronounce it correctly. :P As a native speaker, whenever someone says Chytil on an American broadcast, I hear something akin to Heatly. It Is totally off :D

I thought the correct way is KhYtil with the "Y" producing a sound that doesn't really exist in English.

4 game point streak would be so huge for this kid. Quite the time to be stringing the points together. Let's see some of that baby Jagr shit kid.

Also, that shot he whipped from the corner last game was ridiculous, I hope gallant tells him to really let 'em go like that.

The one where he had a defender draped on him, and he just uses his body and strength to protect the puck and get the shot off. Yes, more of that would be very welcomed!

Sounds like “she-chill” to my ears.

The "CH" sound is very close to a Dutch "g", more specifically a Southern accent Dutch "g" which is almost impossible to otherwise explain to native English speakers.

The sound comes from the back of your throat, when you open your mouth, and smile. That's the closest I get to explaining it.

And I would be at a loss how to explain the Y which I'm told is like Russian "Ы" (try to say "I" while moving the lower jaw forward). But in the sound records posted above it seems to be a plain English I

Heedle is good enough. Cheadle is just flatout wrong. That's pretty much what it comes down to haha.

Nobody can pronounce my last name either, even Dutch people struggle with it.

So you can't say his name without smiling. :laugh:

Craine. But roll the r because we’re Scottish and put a lilt on the vowels so it’s almost cre-an.

Nobody can pronounce anyones name. It’s all bastardized “close enough” Americanized translations.


Little known fact; Crane was a surname for a long legged Irishman, but after some digging, Craine with the “I” came from mostly the Isle of Mann and was basically their version of Gaelic’s version of crown, or royalty. So my son is Henrik Crown, or King Henrik.
