There's some ambiguity in pronunciation of 'u' letter. Most Americans pronounce it as 'u' in 'mud' while in Finnish it's a very clear 'u' sound as in 'doom'.

i thought that was the way Linus pronounced it too (roughly: lee-nooks)

then i just had this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IfHm6R5le0 pointed out to me he seems to have 'adopted'? the (ghastly) murkun way. (roughly: lin-ucks) which is the way i've heard every person in the states pronounce it (Dutch and German folks... not so much) [shrug]

At least most people manage not to say "line-ucks" any more...
