How to pronounce 'Skrzynecki' (1 Viewer)

I have an English speech on thursday on 2 prescribed texts (Peter Skrzynecki poems) and 1 related text.
I was just wondering how do you pronounce Skrzynecki?

All of our teachers and classes say it differently.
Our teacher says "sher-ness-key". That sounds nice, and is easy to say...but it's not right...at all.
Others say "skry-neck-ee" and "strzelecki" (Magda Szubanski's character on Kath and Kim).

I'd say "sher-ness-key" if I had my teacher, but our classes and teachers are shuffled during speeches week. There's no anonymity to speeches so you can't personally know the person marking you.

How do you pronounce it?

ugh, white knight.

Post-count is irrelevant to whether or not someone is new.
And who's saying she can pronounce the name correctly? You, her and one other guy in this thread.

Other people on B.O.S have said

It's not exact, you have to roll Rs and work phlegm up at one stage, but it's a hell of a lot closer than saying Sheneski.

Then why does your details section say you're male?

And your grammar doesn't make you better than him.
God I hate pretentious assholes like you.
Get off your high horse of superiority, you grammar nazi.
No one cares, it's the internet, not a final exam.

If you really were a grammar nazi, then you'd have capital letters for 'And', 'I' and 'I'm', you'd have 'your' and 'you're' in quotations as the sentence doesn't make sense without them and you would say 'distinguish between' instead of 'differentiate between'.

You're just dishing out the biggest words you know in an attempt to sound smart.
Oops...I should have said 'largest' and 'intelligent' instead of 'biggest' and 'smart', shouldn't I?
