Us southerners don't have a prayer to say these words correctly.  we butcher everything

I'll stick with my Schempz and Newmanns (like the Seinfeld Newman)

I agree, we of Southern giftedness must suffer some detriment to prevent ourselves from being clearly better (*ducks*)   :D

However there is a cute one that helps (cue the My Fair Lady skit) remember how Schoeps is said

"Selling my Schoeps, helps my hopes, to buy some Neumanns"

I still say "newman" though. Can't win everything.
