You know, for years, I was always saying yazuka, instead of yakuza.
And I call it Tangerine too. (It's certainly better than calling it
"The Tir Not Curently Known as Na Nog".)

Heh. I usually pronounce it "teer tearn-gear" the first time out with new
folks, then I simply shift over to Tir Tanglewood (which I think was first
used in a decker comment in some sourcebook or other).

Who just likes to say Tir Tanglewood sometimes.
