Schumacher
(pronounce: Shoomahhhuh) and
Schwarzenegger
(Shwartsenegguh) and
Schiffer
(Shiffuh)
helped to make people pronounce
the German `Sch' just like the English `Sh',
and the ending `er' more or less like the English `uh'.
This made life easier for
other ex-pats with weird German names,
such as
Schmidhuber
(Shmidhoobuh).
