"   The prevailing modern pronunciation MARE-uh-lund displays the way

" unaccented syllables into the sound linguists call schwa, pronounced uh.
" It's a trait that we share with speakers of Russian.
"   Our only large city Baltimore, by the way, is pronounced BAWL-uh-m'r,

	So how does the Baul-uh-mre company TTG
	pronounce Xywrite or TWPOKAS (Smarm word)
	(no profanity now!)

	I've said z-eye-rite, but usually ex-why-write
	for non-cogniscenti.
	Often I'll just say "The GOOD word processor"
	when my fingers are flying and the AR and AC
	are active and the screen is flying past, amazing
	bystanders outside the coffeeshop window with my
	productivity.
