'er', SINS.
I got it now. Everything's OK. I see on the other thread, brucie was asking LH a serious question about how to spell it. I don't think he quite understood the answer though. Maybe it would help to break it down phonetically into squi + rr + el.
Or you can do it: 'Squir', just like in the word 'squirt', only you leave the t off because squirrels don't drink tea. Then you add 'rel', which is almost like 'real', only it's a little different, so it's not 'real'. (Haha!) All you have to do is put them together.
I don't think the word is French, so you wouldn't use the double 'l' on the end. If you did, you'd have to put an 'e' after it, and pronounce it 'skwer ELLE'.
If none of these suggestions work, maybe you could invent a symbol, like the Artist Formerly Known as Prince uses, or you could just call them all Dave.
