      Wandel & Goltermann is a German manufacturer.

      Wago is pronounced like virgo except the “vir” part sounds like the “vu” in vulture. Vuh-go, basically. But it makes sense that English native speakers would naturally pronounce it as “waygo”.

          Ist für englische Muttersprachler geschrieben.

          Ahhh also works instead of uh, I guess.

          Ze German W and the English W are quite different, though, so that was my attempt to get that across. 😉
