Meanwhile the Americans have the British names but pronounce it completely different because of the fucking bostoners
And still closer to how it’s spelled than seven centuries of people mumbling it impatiently.
You wanna know why every English town name has special arbitrary pronunciation? Amogus.
Don’t place the blame on us. The British have changed their dialect like twelve times since we were their colony.
Americans who pronounce ‘Dubois’ as DEW-boyse and DU-bwah depending on personal preference.
Sometimes they’re just named after different guys. Like Houston Street versus Houston, Texas.
See also Luis, Luise, and Louise.
Louisville and St. Louis were named after the same guy. Pronounced differently. Lew-ie-ville and Saint Lou-iss
If you put an a at the end the polish name is accurate
Always interesting to see people mention my hometown of Faggotshire online.
I live in South Bummersly these days though.
