There's a street in St. Louis, MO called Loughborough Avenue. It is pronounced LOFF-boro. Years ago I met a lovely couple from New Zealand who asked where they could find LOO-gah Bo-ROO-gah Avenue. After a few seconds to process what street they wanted, I actually managed too keep a straight face and give them directions. I still think of it as LOO-gah Bo-ROO-gah.
@poemblaze In the UK it would be LUFF-boro.
@gshevlin We almost got it right. 😄
@poemblaze Americans do specialize in mangling European pronunciation.
Every time I hear "Noder Dayme", I scream internally.
