I assume it's the same as the German composer rather than the American actor, but I want to make sure. Thanks. I've wondered the same.

I've heard both on BBC national news Wagner had an American step father from birth, it is possible that he grew up in a bi-lingual household and depending on his surroundings he uses either way, I had a German colleague who did this, I once travelled with him to conference in Cologne and he used both depending on who we were talking to. He said he did it to save time. Edited January 7, 2023 by A Load of Squit 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
