German phonetics blog/Deutsches Phonetik-Weblog

John Wells links to a German phonetics weblog by Dirk Olbertz, Phonetik. It looks good. It has a particular interest in the pronunciation of foreign names - for instance, it would have us pronounce Marilyn Monroe in the U.S. rather than the British way. My old Wells Phonetics dictionary gives three British versions and one American ending.

I wonder what he would think of the Germanization of Rosamunde Pilcher? (You have to register to comment, and my old antville registration doesn't seem to work, and in any case I write too many rubbishy comments).
