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

    NY state has a town named Chili that is pronounced—I kid you not—with two long I’s. “Chai-lai”

    There’s also a town named Charlotte pronounced “shar-LOT”.

    I feel like these are tests to detect out-of-towners.
