I read somewhere the Colin Powell's name is actually pronounced Col-in, like Colin Quinn. It was the Associated Press that mis-pronouned his name as Colon and they've stuck with it ever since.
Kinda like Dick Cheney. Cheney is pronounced with the "e" sound instead of the "a" sound. Chee-ney, not Cha-ney. Amazing that Press, these reporters of facts and honesty, can't pronounce a simple name.
Sorry, I didn't really add anything to this thread... :frown:
