Sancti imbecilitas ... OK then. From now on it shall be known as "dvě dvojtečky". And I'd really love to hear you all as you try to guess how to pronounce that.

    We can arrange a meeting if you are interested. We can utter some more words than double colons, too, and drink a beer or whatever. :-)

      "d" and "v" is clear I think, "ě" is read like "ye" in "yellow". "d", "v" is clear, "o" seems to be clear as well, "j" is read like "y" in "yellow", "t" is clear, "e" is not silent, "č" is like "ch" in "chocolate", "k" is clear and "y" is read like "i" in "bit".

      save the following as utf-8
          dvě dvojtečky
      
          dve dvotačke
          
          dve dvotočke
      
          tuu kooloons
      

      hear it

      czech robot male eSpeak\command_line\espeak.exe -v cs+m2 -f textfile.txt

      czech robot female eSpeak\command_line\espeak.exe -v cs+f2 -f textfile.txt

      Compare to espeak.exe -v en-us+m1 "two colons"
