Re: [ATM] ATM pronuciation

[Dan Harriman <stargazer@asset-astronomer.org>]

I went to school with a person and his last name was Houghton. He 
pronounced it Hoe-ton.
Within the past year or two, I have heard other families pronounce it How-ten.

So how is Ronchi pronounced? Ron-chee?  never even thought it might 
be pronounced any other way.
