Its done the same on the GP site

My VL1 5lap (52"77) wasn't updated, but I might have just sent it in after a cut-off time (which may be Sunday night/Monday morning)... Did you get it Pierre?

on the NTSC news me, scott and another player are all listed as no 54 but with 3 different scores  

News update for the 3rd quarter has been written. Since October 8 has just begun in Europe (about an hour ago), I think now was the perfect time to submit it to Karel...

My NTSC news was meant to be posted today, October 8... I guess I should've written and submitted it earlier...

I can read this:

That's very nice but I'm not the one to thank here. All the praise should go to Patrick Wessels.

Merci.

Now do you see why I insisted on an October 8 publication date?  

Karel: You write English amazingly well for someone who's not a native speaker. I will assume you can also speak it very fluently?

Karel has a hard time pronouncing my last name, which is funny because the way he wants to pronounce it is technically correct. It's lousy Americans who forced my family to go by "burn - ear" instead of the traditional French "burn eyay." I respond to both.

Yeah, "burn yay" is perfect. Obviously, I'd hope that a native French speaker could nail it.

I'd say "bayrne".

Of all the different nicks I used, Josepi Bernacci was cool, but Joshimoto Berninatsu is my personal favorite.

Karel speaks very good English, but his thick accent sometimes affects his pronunciation. The non native person who sounded the most English from the karting community who I have met is Rub. His pronunciation is pretty much perfect. Marius/Sargoth is also very good. The best of the French would be Scoub or Tif. (im talking easiest to understand here, not who has the best grasp of English. Karel gets that award)

Strangely, the best sounding non native speakers ive encountered are people from Iceland. They sound practically English in every way.

Also, ive always said 'bern-eyay'. Always seemed like the right way to say it.

I guess she also pronounces Neo's name as "FLOOR-int Le-CONE-it" as well

I don't see any other way this could be pronounced but "SAH-mee CHEH-tin". Well except maybe "Sammy Settin" but you've probably been called that many times, the name would sound foreign to most Londoners. And in the U.S. at least, Sami is used as a woman's name (presumably short for Samantha).

Hope you had a great birthday, "Sammy Settin"  

P.S. My RR 5lap is not a new time, I assume you were going to change it to the Non-NBT time I sent last week before you realised that I already had a better time with NBT.
