Don Aker: Hello, my name is Don Aker. For some reason a lot of people mispronounce my last name, calling it, "Acker." Which, sounds a little like you're coughing up a hairball.
It's interesting how they don't have a problem saying the word, "Baker," but if you take the B away they say, "Acker." So, whenever you see my name think of the word baker, but the B is silent.
