They spell it "Vinci" and pronounce it "Vinchy". Foreigners always spell better than they pronounce.

Learn how to spell, please And get off the games, so that your frontal lobes can heal so that you can spell.
Jack Thompson
In the places I go there are things that I see
That I never could spell if I stopped with the Z.
I'm telling you this 'cause you're one of my friends.
My alphabet starts where your alphabet ends!Dr. Seuss
