To help my American lemmings with pronunciation: Red-ing and Bark-shere.
It's a very good university too.
Anglophones have no right to complain about French pronunciation. What the fuck is this shit?
Half the reason our pronunciation is so weird is that a bunch of French guys took over England
It would be so much easier if we had accents over our vowels, like in a lot of languages to indicate which of that vowels sounds was wanted.

English used to be phonetic, it's just people started changing the way they pronounced vowels, but the spelling stayed the same. For example, both the k and the gh in "knight" used to be pronounced.
Tell me about it English is a bastardised language made up of so many different languages rules. Have you heard of Lee and Perrins Worcestershire sauce? It's pronounced wuster-shere.
Great sauce btw, real umami flavour and great on cheese on toast.
My favourite is Wymondham. (Like the blowy kind,) Wind-um.
Also, fuck Worcester sauce.
I like Towcester.
Excellent for breakfast crumpets.
James Acaster's classic Kettering Town FC bit starts with another example 😁
I've heard it as "English isn't a language. It's three languages under a trench coat, pretending to be a language."
ever heard of ghoti?
Yes. I have also heard of "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo."
