You pronounce it "chart". Suppliers and customers from the far east,
french, and latin countries usually have a field day with my name.
Some of the attempts are non-printable! ;) I've even considered
adopting a 'business name' (also like the eastern people) like
"Chad", or "Charles" or something.

Then again, it is a constant source of amusement ;) One guy from
Taiwan asked to speak to "short". My collegues were very amuzed (I'm 6"4).
