How does one pronounce pynchon's name? pin-yoan? That's how my professor does it, I thought it was pinch-on. It could be pinch-un too apparently.

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 5 02:20:43 2015 No.7195843 It's not Pinch-in, it's not Pin-yoan, it's not Pinecone, it's Pinch-on.

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 5 02:26:43 2015 No.7195850 It's Pynch-ON. Listen to the way he said it on The Simpsons.

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 5 02:26:56 2015 No.7195851 Pyncheon is an old English name, which Pynchon derives from. Pynchon comes from rich ancestors, so you know he'd never debase such a name. It's the same way you would say dungeon.

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 5 08:25:14 2015 No.7196394 There is a trick; it's about emphasising the second rather than first syllable. It's easy enough: Instead of "Pynch-On", say: "Pyn-Chon". This will get you the effect this anon's trying to describe: >>7195850
