I need to be careful.
I got blocked here once by an American who insisted I was pronouncing it wrong 🤣🤣🤣

@stueytheround @wolfwoman @Museek

I have had to coach someone on the proper pronunciation for the town of Peabody.

@grayman @stueytheround @Museek
There aren't so many in MD that I'm aware of. But I *do* know that most folx pronounce Norfolk wrong.

There are so many traps in the UK
For instance in Scotland there's a small fishing town
Kirkudbright
or on the border you can visit Hawick. You're already pronouncing them wrong 🤣🤣

@stueytheround @wolfwoman @grayman @Museek Kirkbrt and Heyck?

@AskTheDevil A manful effort!

I was close on the 2nd... didn't get the "oy" sound.

@wolfwoman @AskTheDevil @grayman @Museek
The one which gets me every time is Beaulieu (famous for the motor museum) which is pronounced Byew Lee! 🤣🤣

@stueytheround @wolfwoman @AskTheDevil @grayman @Museek Hey I've been there! It's cool!

@stueytheround @wolfwoman @AskTheDevil @grayman @Museek We were like "how do you say that? is it like billly oh?"

No it's BEW-LEE

"How the fuck does that work?"

Same way as Leicester is LESS-TAH

"ohhhhhh ok. New rules eh."
