Oh, I'm a Zoo-ey girl from way back. (: Has to do with a friend of mine's
tragic tale - he had a little dog named Zoo-ey, after Zooey Glass, and he
lost custody of him in a flatmate dispute. It was very sad.
Besides - surely if it's a contraction of his Christian name it would be a
more obvious one than `Zoe'.
And while I'm on the subject of pronunciation I'd like to call all the
Americans on the list to send out an urgent message to everyone over there
who pronounces Emu `EE-moo'. It's pronounced *EE-myew* Eemyew. Eemyew!!!
(And for what it's worth they're a lousy investment over here, too (: )
