(Lordy I'm getting old.) And of course Bump Day is the day that faster qualifiers can still get into the race by knocking the driver off the bubble!

Should I think of Steffani being pronounced the same as when it's spelled Stephanie, or as in Gwen? I find myself switching back and forth, and it is unsettling!

I'm embarrassingly geeked about finding the Wordsmith.org website. In my case Steffani is pronounced the same as Stephanie. My mom was a German immigrant which might explain the spelling somewhat.

Do you have a nickname "Steffi" (or "shteffi"? I stayed with a German family in Chile, and they had a daughter they called Steffi (with the sh sound). Just curious! :0) Top Page 3 of 3 < 1 2 3 Previous Topic   Index   Next Topic   Preview Hop to: General Topics ------   Information and announcements   Q&A about words   Wordplay and fun   Words and languages in schools   Miscellany   Weekly Themes   Looking for (writers, speakers, ...)
