I’ve always pronounced the word “Southern” to rhyme with howthurn. I know most people say it like “suthurn” instead. I didn’t realize that the way I pronounce it is considered weird until recently!

    Visiting a town in Maine, US, spelled “Calais.”

    Is it the French pronunciation? English but attempting it with “Kuh-lay?”

    Oh, no, that’s too much. Ka-liss. Like callous. What.
