Today on my way home I heard a commentater on NPR public radio pronounce the
publisher Houghton Mifflin as Huff-tun. I always thought it was Ho-tun.
Does anyone know for sure. I would usually defer to the radio, but it just
sounds wrong. She also pronounced Knopf as Ku-nawf. I though Nawf.
I realize this is not earth shattering, but I've always been instinctively
good at pronouncing some of the more difficult author names.
TIA
