This week,
every single response seems to be about Americans (mostly those who can't pronounce luffboruff).

the mispronunciation ones are hardly examples of forriners' stupidity
it's our fault for spelling things stoopid

apart from "edinburrow" ... that is just plain fuckwittery

Having heard someone call Loughborough "Loogerberooga"
I choose to disagree.

I would like to challenge
all those who are criticising people for their pronunciation of place names that are foreign to them to try the following:
* Woolloomooloo
* Kakadu
* Wollongong
* Scone (tell me how it's pronounced differently to 'scone', as in the thing you eat)
* Stawell
* Watanobi
* Wagga Wagga
* Cairns

They're just pronounced exactly as they read, aren't they?
Apart from Wagga Wagga. We've got family there and you look a bit foolish if you say both Waggas.

Half of it is locals being stupid.
Milngavie pronounced Mul-guy? Slaithwaite pronounced Sluthut? Arses the lot of them.
