Schwarzenegger
(pronounce: Shwartsenegguh) and
Schumacher
(Shoomahhhuh)
and Schiffer
(Shiffuh)
taught people to 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).
