Pneuman & Neuman. Where are these spellings coming from? Was there a reference in an episode?

His name is spelled "Newman" in TV Guide and my episode guide (which was written by Dennis Kytasaari and Jeff Hein).

Naw...I'm sure its Noomin.....or is it Niewmyn. I think people are just having a bit of fun with his name Matthew.

You're right, Matthew. His name IS "Newman." I have to admit that I got the "Pneuman" thread started... I didn't like his character that much, feeling like he causes "pneumonia" to the episodes he appears in, hence the variation in his name. But I've decided that he has his place in the series, and is a nice contrast to the other characters.

His name was also spelled "Newman" under his picture in the episode where Kramer gets all the people in the building to put their pictures up in the lobby so people will talk to one another. That's about as definitive as it gets, it seems to me. --LJW
