I though Kwikzote was the equivalent of the returning-officers Zavy-yer?

Or what about in the X-men where they call him Eks-zavyer?

That's how wiki says it should be done, a "voiceless velar fricative". Scots might find that easier to do.

A voiceless velar fricative is the 'h' in 'human' or 'huge'. Not a phlegmy Scotch one.

No they haven't, Scots and Germans use a velar fricative after front vowels like 'i' (as in the German 'ich' which is phlegm free) and a big phlegmy one after back vowels like 'o' and 'a' (as in Scottish 'loch').

Nik Kershaw is a famous linguist, so he he must be right.

It's the only way I have ever heard it said. It's said the same way in the film (which I bet Kershaw watched) and in that Terry Gilliam thing.
