Sancti imbecilitas ... OK then. From now on it shall be known as "dvě dvojtečky". And I'd really love to hear you all as you try to guess how to pronounce that.

    We can arrange a meeting if you are interested. We can utter some more words than double colons, too, and drink a beer or whatever. :-)

      "d" and "v" is clear I think, "ě" is read like "ye" in "yellow". "d", "v" is clear, "o" seems to be clear as well, "j" is read like "y" in "yellow", "t" is clear, "e" is not silent, "č" is like "ch" in "chocolate", "k" is clear and "y" is read like "i" in "bit".
