BTW and While-We're-At-It, your name is pronounced kur'-nish.

Not Kay-nigk.   Like those Misspeller Folks have been saying.

You can tell it to those Folks Who Misspell Koenig.   Might help them get it right.   Maybe.

It would be easier if we'd kept the umlat.

Coulda changed it to King.   Way back when.

Say, before 1st Grade.   Woulda been easier to spell, learn to write in cursive.   All that.  Woulda saved a lot of extra writing over the years.   Easier to sign on checks, BATF forms, etc.

Get KING license plates.   Cops leave you alone.

Plus King has a certain dignity in English.   [Gotta go all the way to Deutschland to get full credit for Koenig.]

OK, OK....but You started it.

My ancestors were Andersons.  They changed it to Asplin because Anderson was too common.  I think they achieved their goal. :D
