Wight can't possibly cause as much trouble as Fleser. Be thankful. Not only can I count on one hand the number of times it has been pronounced correctly the first time, the misspellings are innumerable. A cousin has taken the trouble to add a line over the first e:

I should ask him someday if it actually helps. Most pronounce it Fleh-sir, instead of the Flee-sir as it should be. Although that pronunciation was decided upon by someone in New York when my ancestors immigrated around 1840. Near as I can tell the original spelling was Flößer, somehow that became Fleser.
