  1. Correct Russian pronunciation per my Grandmother: “Castle off!” She couldn’t stand bad mispronunciation of Russian names. Just so you know.

    • Imagine being Polish (as I am) and hearing what people do to “Kosciusko” or “Przewalski” or “Wosnesenski”!
      .
      PS: The word “spruce” came into English from the Polish language — literally, “z Prus”, meaning “from Prussia”.

    • Thanks for that. Not only am I a grammar nazi, when it comes to myself, I also love knowing how to pronounce words correctly. Thank you! 🙂
