Thread Name: Lyr Req: Pronunciation req's for British Subjects
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Pronounciation req's for British Subjcts
It's a funny thing about pronunciations, I remember a few years back there was a US quiz show hosted by Bill Cosby, and contestants were forever correcting Bill for his mispronuciation of there place names. But, of course, is no one correct pronuciation. For example, the majority of the inhabitants of Birmingham (UK) pronounce the "ham" section of the word " gum". Now, does that means the the rest of of us are pronoucing it incorrectly?
