        Fun fact: Wang is how some jokester taught the Chinese was the proper way to Anglicize the word 王. That word is pronounced like Wong. I know this because one of my bosses was helping his cousin open her own restaurant and they named it 旺旺中餐厅 Wang Wang Chinese restaurant. I told him he wanted to modify the spelling, since Wang is already a word in English, and she probably didn’t want to own the Dick Dick Chinese Restaurant.
