What? Amparo was here and I missed her AGAIN!?

I am currently reading Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco.

It was originally written in Italian, but since I don't read Italian it has been kindly translated into English. It's quite good so far.

There is a (minor) character named "Amparo", which since it is Italian I assume is pronounced something like "Am-PAH-roh". But every time I read it I pronounce it in my head as "AMP-a-ROO".

Well... I don't update, so you are excused from checking often. I wouldn't want to expose you to regular disappointment like that.
