Pronunciation
I am no expert in phonetic transcription, but the phonetic transcription of Hammet's middle name (the name by which he is best known) given in this article (d|ə|ˈ|ʃ|iː|l|) seems to be "DESH-i-el", whereas I think a closer pronunciation would be "DASH-el." Can anyone correct me or give a better phonetic transcription? Jwicklatz (talk) 05:25, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
 * The stress is on the second syllable, so the pronunciation is "duh-SHEEL". See Help:IPA_for_English.
 * See, also, The Lost Detective: Becoming Dashiell Hammett by Nathan Ward (pp. 5-6).
