It seems that people speaking only English can't pronounce the 'u' the
way we use it - does not seem to exist in English. This is the same as
the 'ü' in German if it can help someone (we're the only language to
pronounce 'u' that way...)

I disagree _strongly_ that pointers are a misfeature of C.
They are a very useful tool. However, misuse of pointers
is a misfeature of some programmers.
