Icelandic, unlike English, has very simple pronouncation rules where each letter has its own distict sound (and only one sound!). There are only a few exceptions to this, one being that i and y are pronounced the same. Thus, in Icelandic both the names Yngvi and Ingvi exist and are pronounced the same, so the misspelling is very understandable. :-) -Yngvi Bjornsson > >There is another one written by Ingvi Bjornson, University of Alberta.
