I know it's 'socko' but I say 'sayko' because no one will know what I'm talking about otherwise. Same reason I say 'gah-rand' even though I know it's really 'gehrund', 'vokeswagin' when I know it's really 'fokesvahgon', 'mikyoulik' when I know it's really 'mishulak' and 'wahl-ther' when I really know it's 'vaulter'.
I'm not even going to start on the awful things Texans do to the foreign names of many of the cities in this fine state or lament my conformity which is done in the name of effective communication...
Ok--just a nod to the 'doomuss' Demons, the highschool football team in Dumas, TX. Better get that one right even if you can't get any of the others...
