[ATM] NEW LIST--Old Names, New names

[rguinamard at infonie.fr (Raphaël Guinamard)]

I'm french, I think I will help!.
It's quite difficult to write in phonetic english how we spell those names.
Nick is completely right
FOUCAULT  "foo-coe" . In the ATM community, we even have a verb
"foucaulter", which means testing your mirror with the faucoult test
'kreh-TCHIEN'
Chris is right saying TEXEREAU  'Tex.. a .. roa', but the roa not like a
road, but more like a rope
COUDER     (coo..dare)
bye
Rapha?l Guinamard
