A question for you: A girl I know lives on a road called Sower's Lane.
I got confused with the pronunciation the first time I said it, and just want to know if it's me being stupid or if the road genuinely is pronounced in an odd way.
How would you lot pronounce Sower's?"Paul Hanson, you should give Gibraltar back to the Spanish" - Paiktis, dramatically over-estimating my influence in diplomatic circles.

I'd go for Sow (as in female pig)...
So you end up with sours, rather than Sow (as in sowing grain), which would give so-ers.Comment

My brother's reading/writing vocabulary used to be much larger than his speaking vocabulary (it's still larger, but not nearly so much as it once was), so he'd come up with all sorts of ****ed up pronunciations:
Chaos: Chay-ohz
Society: Sosh-ity<p style="font-size:1024px">HTML is disabled in signatures

Is she pretty?
Hmmm...must be me then. I would have gone for So-er's myself, but I was told the pronunciation was more akin to Sour's.I'd go for Sow (as in female pig)..."Paul Hanson, you should give Gibraltar back to the Spanish" - Paiktis, dramatically over-estimating my influence in diplomatic circles.

Maybe they were fed up with people thinking it was some village in Poland.Originally posted by *End Is Forever*
There's a little village near to where I lived in Scotland called Kilcadzow, pronounced Kil-craig-y. Never did figure out how they managed that...Comment

Now I generally pronounced it from the latter, but I've noticed anyone from Lancashire seems to pronounce it more like 'Burr-eh'...Originally posted by *End Is Forever*
Burry or Berry, Stew? I tend to alternate between the two for some bizarre reason...
What annoys me? I dunno really. 'Aluminum' irritates me and the way Americans say 'missle' instead of 'missile'

Yes, Dun Laoghaire is pronounced like Dun Leary. I remember being on about this one to my mother...Originally posted by Tolls
Apparently it's something along the lines of Dun Leary, though quite how you get that second bit from that random collection of letters is beyond me.Speaking of Erith:

Now I thought it was "wuss-ta-shi", not "war-cester-shair" or "wor-cester-shire" (Worcestershire sauce (SP?)), but I seem to be in a minority of one in the country who even thinks they know the correct way.
Can anyone clarify for me - someone who uses the word more than once in a millennium?
Oh I have one more - "nyookyoola" instead of "nooclear". WTF is a nuculus?!?!Comment

It would have thought along the lines of sow, female pig, so pronounced like sours.Originally posted by Paul Hanson

I can't believe I'm the only person who thinks it should be pronounced so-er's, or as I prefer to call it, correctly.
