"Euler" instead of "Oiler"


???

Not sure how an American would pronounce "oiler" but if it's "oil" as in "sunflower oil" then that's a pretty good emulation of the original German pronounciation of "Euler"...

Another anology

Euler-Room Boiler-Room

Roughly the same. (Minus the B of course)


Oil as in sunflower oil, yes


and von Mises is von Meeseez which I can't manage to learn and still call it von my sis.


I take care of that one with Mises Pieces /g
