Ha! Should have said "Americanized". But how can a multisyllable work 
not have an accent somewhere?

"Jean gold-KET"

eh?

The only English word I can think of besides proper names which doesn't have an accent is "Farewell".  Proper names, especially those from Czech countries, can have no accents, such as Dvorak, Smetana, (often pronounced "SMET'na"), and Smetacek.
