i reserve the right to pronounce it "Camus" instead of "Camus"

In conversation I enjoy name dropping Camus to show I am a deep and introspective soul. Oft people interrupt my musings to question my pronunciation, but what they don't know is that I secretly enjoy saying "Camus" instead of "Camus". I think this is because I remember the name as he "came" and saved *"*us" from the hardships of life. On this matter I also have never looked up the proper pronunciation for Nietzsche, so I just try a new one every time and say it really fast before anyone can process it. So far I've used "Neechee", "Neeechlela", "Neato" Also when I'm hanging with my philosophy buddies and have an itch, I jovially refer to it as a "Nitzch" before scratching. I love being a philosopher.
