A design question, sort of.

I'm having a difference of opinion with someone about how Mr. Breuer's name is pronounced-- anyone know?

Or, perhaps it's "Broy-er"?

And Wassily is pronounced...
...with a V sound, not a W.

God bless 'em.
It's thanks to poor spellers like those that "Ames", "Sarinnen", "Reitveld", and "Arnie Jacobson" furniture on Ebay attracts few bidders and is therefore available so cheaply.

BROYHILL.
