I do not even want to look at the Jeanne (btw, half the forecasters are pronouncing it "Jean" and half "Jeanie" -- does anyone know if there is a "correct" pronounciation?). Lets just hope the mountains of Hispaniola deal her a death knell...and lets hope the disaster of last May does not repeat itself.
It's pronounced "GEEN". The folks who are confused aren't used to seeing "Jean" Spelled "Jeanne".
I interviewed with a Jeanne once and fortunately, I called her "GEEN" instead of "GEENEE" - I heard that she would immediately end the interview with anyone making that faux pas.
