Well, and this non-native speaker probably would have pronounced "dove"
and "drove" the same way, except for the r.
Remember that the English are the people who didn't know how to pronounce
"Linux". (It helps that the "obvious" German pronunciation for this just
switches the u and i sounds from how we pronounce "Unix", which, I believe
(but what do I know), is very similar to the English version of "Unix"
:-))
