[stylist] word: the name Francois

[Donna Hill]

Vejas,
Jaws pronounces it correctly, so what surprises me is how it's spelled.
Thanks for posting.
Donna

Hi
I hope I'm still "playing by the rules", but what I have 
presented to you is a very interesting name.
You've probably all heard of Francois-it's French-Canadian.  And 
lots of you probably thought it was either pronounced "fran-coiz) 
or "fran-coy."
But some of you may be shocked (I'm sure I was) when I found out 
it's pronounced like this:
fran-swa
Of course many of you may know this already, but I just thought 
this was very interesting so I decided to post it.

Vejas
