Please note, for your scheduling convenience, you may choose to bring the patient into the office prior to their originally scheduled visit to accommodate the study site telephone interview.

the question is the “when once” at the beginning of this paragraph.
When once the Latin tongue had ceased to be a normal vehicle for communication, and was replaced as such by the vernacular language, then it most speedily became a mental gymnastic, the supremely “dead” language….(extracted from: Approaches & Methods – Jack C. Richards). Admittedly what I couldn’t digest and get along with is, placing of “when” and “once” together, while to me “once” in this sentence denotes the same as “when”.if not for emphasis or suchlike then how they can be used this way together so that this combination of these two words, to me seems like you say: as I was wondering how to operate the machine, he instructed me which button I should press, then immediately at once I did the right one. You see in the above example which I made it myself to make my point crystal clear, you will notice that we can’t have “immediately at once”, these two words together,can we?.
thanks for your answers and comment

when I was looking up for a word in the dictionary, as usual I was distracted by a word and assumed not bad to catch a glimpse at the definition, it was ‘oncology ‘ .
the definition says:
(The scientific study of and treatment of tumors in the body).
The more I read this sentence the more I feel that the first preposition “of” is unnecessary and to me this sentence should sound : the scientific study and treatment of the body, as the second “of” refers to both ‘study’ and “treatment” and naturally suggests the omission of first “of”
Source: Oxford Dictionary (advanced learner). 2001.

i will appreciate all answers and comment accordingly.

In particular, I would like to know how following names are pronounced by native english speakers, since most pronunciation dictionaries don't cover proper nouns (names).
1. Linux (does it rhyme with Delux or Unix?)
2. Hugh Grant (actor)
3. Van Heusen (Brand name of shirts)
4. Danielle Steel (author) (is it like Daniel or Danielly?)
5. Werner von Siemens (Founder of Siemens AG)
6. Volkswagon (car)
In general, can you please let me know if any online dictionary (preferably downloadable) covers pronunciation of proper nouns?
