Sigh. There's so many ways that bloody Merkan #misspelling & #mispronunciation has infected Straya. Here's one going on atm in this #ABC News podcast; https://www.abc.net.au/radio/programs/abc-news-daily/the-rude-shock-in-your-next-power-bill/102530814.

Both journalists are repeatedly saying "deeeeeefault" instead of "dfault" for the word "default".

Pathetic.

I ran across the Norse word "blómi."

I have no clue how it is supposed to be pronounced.

Of course, in my mind it is pronounced "blow me." 🤣

Makes me wonder if there are any commonly mispronounced Seattle street names... https://boingboing.net/2023/02/15/watch-people-in-san-francisco-try-to-say-san-francisco-street-names.html #StreetNames #SanFrancisco #Seattle #pronunciation #mispronunciation

Watching a short video on a YouTube history channel I like, the presenter just (mis)prounounced "admiralty" as "add-marr-ah-le-eh-tee", just as the great Jon Pertwee's CPO Pertwee used to in the long-running Navy Lark show, and this makes me smile.
