Highland Capital Posted April 22, 2019 Author Share Posted April 22, 2019 (edited) The automated announcements in King's Cross used to (and I assume still do) pronounce Kingussie "Kin-Gussie". Another that really grinds my gears are Scottish people who pronounce Bournemouth and Portsmouth wrong. Hearing people say "Born-Mouth" and "Port's Mouth" make me cringe.

Until recently, the automated Scotrail voice on the Inverness to Wick train always read out Ardgay as Ard-gay (it's pronounced ard-guy). This is the stop for Bonar Bridge FWIW. Always raised a smile. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are used, of course. I won't even mention your apostrophe abuse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody uses either of the o's and says Lon or don. Nobody. Lun-din or Lun-duhn. U's & i's, but no o's despite them being the only vowels in the name. The country's f***ed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See how the 'o' in 'woman' and 'women' changes. The only thing consistent here is you making a baws of things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
