Pronunciation of Colin

Here is how Colin is pronounced

In English, the correct pronunciation is "Coll-en", period. American "Coal-in" is a mispronunciation of the name. "Colin" in Colin Powell's name should be pronounced Coll-en because he has Jamaican parents, and this is how its pronounced in Jamaica. In fact America is the only English speaking nation that uses "Coal-in." My name's been Colin for over fifty years, and Americans are the only folks that have ever mispronounced my name.
