Isn't it wonderful that we can use the internet to help folks around the
world improve their command of English.  Yes it is ORYGUN.  I was born here.
Now I have no idea how they say "Vanagon" in Germany.  Incidentally, there
are
a lot of VW busses on the road in the Valentine State.  Just the other day I
parked next to a Vanagon in front of a Chinese restaurant.  Only two days
later I parked next to a "bread-loaf" at the grocery store.

Before becoming too smug about good pronunciation skills, I must admit to
hearing a vicious rumor that in Japan they call those wonderful cameras
"Neekon" not "Nikon."  Please say it isn't so!
