To sum it up, "schmoo" is pronounced
'sh' as in 'ship, dish'
'm' as in 'mum'
'oo' as in 'took'
Is that right?
cf. http://dictionary.reference.com/help/ahd4/pronkey.html
## "oo" was short? I always thought it was long, as in 'boot'.

Communication is VERY important. Who knows when you'll face a blind
developer. And I've noticed that so many people were working too hard
on new years day.

I sure hope I'm spelling it correctly as "schmoo".
