Listening to a British person talk about Winnipeg and they keep pronouncing it “Winnie-peg” please can someone who is a British confirm for me if this is how you all say it
I'm suddenly reminded of a podcast I heard where the British host pronounced Nicaragua as something like "Nick-ee-rah-gu-ah" and I made it slightly harder to take anything happening seriously
English midlands with stint in London runoff county Essex and NZ: I've always said both that and Manitoba with an 'i' similar to the one in "Jennifer", but I don't even pronounce words the same as people 50m down the road.
If there’s one thing youtube has taught me it’s that people in the UK take the wildest liberties with pronouncing North American place names. And Spanish words in general.
One of my first encounters was with my father in law talking about "I visited Texas once" (the most common refrain when you tell someone you're from the south), and he pronounced Houston like "Hoo-ston". I told him the right way around, but he still does it lol
Is this about Internet Investigator??? She just released a whole hour+ video saying it like that, and I've been dying over it. And if it's not then whaaaat
