Are you........a PADDY?
They're the nation most guilty when it comes to spasticated spellings of words, that I know of.

I fucking love Shrewsbury.
Answer me this, if you may:

Correct pronunciation of Shrewsbury? I was brought up to say Sh-rose-bury, not to rhyme with Dewsbury, but my (admittedly rather dim) pal moved up there and says it the latter way.

WHO IS RIGHT?

I generally say shrosebury but shewsbury is right.

That's weird then, isn't it?
If the correct way is the phonetic way, how is it that both you and I have ended up with a weird pronunciation?

because you are both equally spastic?
