False Assertion

[edit]

Runeberg does not rhyme with Gutenberg in Finnish or Swedish, his root ethnicity. It's pronounced as "Roon-er-berry" with that last syllable pronounced as the English would pronounce the fruit rasp/straw/black - berry. (Sorry not familiar enough with the IPA to write it out with those ungodly symbols phoneticists use). So the article is false in its assertion about that being why the name was adopted.Jatrius (talk) 19:05, 31 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Now the article seems to imply that the name was only chosen as a wordplay of the word Rune with Gutenberg, which seems exceedingly unlikely to me given the fact that Runeberg is one of the Swedish language's most famous authors, and that his work was among the first to be made digital by the project.
