These similar-looking last names threaten confusion:
Hermann Weyl & Andre' Weil.
Pronunciation: vile & vay
why Weil is pronounce vay, I do not know
I participated in a conference recently on FRIENDSHIP. Among the authors
that we read (Plato, Aristotle, Montaigne, Emerson, Alan Blooms) was the
sister of Andre Weil: Simone Weil.
