Interesting tidbit from twitter: How do you pronounce "Mojang" (notice that the creators pronounce it in two different ways depending on the language context).

                 @notch Markus Persson @ @Padathir - I say "moe-djang" in English. In Swedish, I
                  say "moyang" with a hard g and emphasis on the a.
