HelpRe: We talk about the slaughter of spellings, what about pronunciations?
in reply to a message by Ceridwen
For a while, growing up in France when I was younger, people had no clue how to pronounce Chelsea. Hard Ch, or soft Ch. What do you do with the end, -sea like the body of water, or see-ah? It was a mess. It was almost a named invented to tongue tie French people it seemed.
In the states most people say it right because I guess it was more common, but some people still say see-ah at the end.

Woah, OT
Were you the guest blogger on Nameberry today (yesterday?) Because you have the same anecdote.
That's really cool if you are; you should make a post about it (probably in the lounge, like Mike did when he made did a guest blog there).

Yes, it is me.
I feel a bit hesitant about cross linking to another name site though - I mean it's different for Mike, right?

Well, it's like "Look at this awesome name-related thing I did", not "Hey, everyone, you should leave BTN for Nameberry". I think it'd be perfectly acceptable.

I don't think it would be a problem, people link to other sites all the time (especially on the facts board) and there's never been a complaint about it (as far as I know).
