On a matter of pronunciation ...

We pronounce "fuchsia" as "fewsha" even though it was named after a
German botanist, a certain Leonhart Fuchs ("fooks").

Yebbut...shouldn't the 'ch' in Fuchs be pronounced as in Achtung, with
that German guttural throaty sound that we don't have in English,
rather than with a hard 'k'? Or do you say Aktung? :-)

Only south of the border. It occurs in loch and similar words.
