Here “bus” is pronounced like “buzz” and I didn’t realise it was weird until I went down to Devon and it was a dead giveaway that I’m a Brummie lol

    When I was in school, I had a teacher who insisted on pronouncing the word “across” as “acrosst”.

      No thank you! That one really bothers me for some reason.

      Same as “eltse” for else, “foe-ward” for forward, “warsh” for wash, and “ayggs” for eggs.

      And some people say “heighth” for height and I swear it’s just to fuck with me.
