Well, given that I would have pronounced it something like "Klotchko"
(because I'm aware about the "cz" thing) and the average French user
would say somehting like "Klokzko" (which is obviously impossible to
pronounce)....it seems that the Polish lesson was needed (I owe you a
<insert favourite drink here> for it).

> kloczek


So, that one, which seems to be a kind a familiar form of your family
name, should be pronounced "kwhatchek", right=A0?

OK, back to work, then now..:-)
