If you can pronounce Galifianakis you can pronounce Quvenzhane. So quit fucking around.

Sorry, but no. I've heard "Galifianakis," so I can pronounce it. I haven't heard "Quvenzhane," so I'm either going to pronounce it as "Romanadvoratrelundar," or "Fred."

No, this constitutes fucking around.

Well, I could probably pronounce "Galafinakis" (sp?) if I knew which syllables to stress (Greek? is different, after all), but anything that begins with "Quv" is beyond me. Basically, if it doesn't use stress patterns normal to an English speaker, it becomes hard for me. So how is it supposed to be pronounced?

I'm still trying to figure out under what circumstances I would even need to pronounce Quvenzhane.
