CRÜX

Cor, that IS nice . . . I like it.

I've heard it pronounced

"watch me here,"

"take take take take take" (on TR obviously)

"$%^*&%*$^&%^*(%&**"

and of course,

"GNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

But that's pretty much stating the obvious.

Does anyone else think crux needs an umlaut?

I would agree, but I don't know how to say "umlaut" so technically I can't

PS: And yes, Crüx is soooo cool. If you know how to spell it, it sounds exactly like a French would pronounce 'crux'... kindof a sign maybe?

Not really. Mötley Crüe is an US band, though quite famous over here. German bands normally tried to sound American. Like The Scorpions. A laughter in Germany, a hipe in the states... kinda cool, you know :D

Xing Tao = the "X" is pronounced as a "Z"

Therefore, you would want to "Cruise up that thing"
