Sorry to be "serious" in a light-hearted thread, but which words are the homonyms? I bet it's something obvious, but ...... ahh yes!! I've just remembered that although most Brits pronounce the artist's name as "Van Goff", you Americans say "Van Go"! :BangHead:

Apparently, both are wrong. I came across this description of how the Dutch artist's name should be pronounced:

In fact, most Dutch people pronounce his surname along the lines of vun KHOKH (-v as in vet, -u as in bun, -kh as in Scottish loch) or fun KHOKH (-f as in fit, -u as in bun, -kh as in Scottish loch).
