That's No Moon Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 French seems to be the target of a lot. Havre de Grace, MD is another example. I've heard it either or HAVER-di-grace or HAVER-dee-grace. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoHuddleKelly12 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Monticello, GA is pronounced with the “c” as an “s” instead of the customary Italian “ch” sound. Also keeping with the Ga theme, Hahira is pronounced as "Hay-HI-ra" 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special K Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 (edited) We have a road here called Derbyshire Road, and people say it as you would read it, however, a person from England would pronounce it “Darby-Shar”. Oviedo, FL.....we pronounce it “O-vee-doh”, but the Spanish pronunciation would be “Ov-i-Ed-o” Edited March 8, 2022 by Special K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
