re: #585 engineer cat

i come from a family of -owitz’s, but my grandfather dropped his when he was graduating from college - supposedly in his yearbook it say that he “lost his ‘witz”

I have the problem that my granddad (or the Ellis Island officials) changed the spelling of our surmname to make it more pronounceable for Americans. But I moved back to Germany and now the Germans have a terrible time pronouncing it correctly, although the original spelling would be no problem.
