I can't pronounce Ecureuil, I'm not even sure I can spell it!

Reminds me of an ATC exchange in the US after one of the first SOCATA TB-10's arrived from France. Another pilot listening to the discussion on pronunciation of the type name between TB-10 pilot and ATC interjected "so you say To-bah-go, he says To-bay-go, let's call the whole thing off".
