Erdős

I was told by a hungarian, that hungarian written spelling and spoken pronunciation is pretty precisely aligned compared to, say, english. Except when it comes to names when it gets a bit random!

Why not do the bloke the decency to spell his name correctly? Those diacritics are important.

Anyway, I was told that Paul's name is very roughly pronounced by an anglophone as: "airdish".
