Re: Sonny pronunciation
in reply to a message by Anneza
I was confused because in my mind Sonny rhymes with Bonnie and Sunny with bunny. That's how Sonny is pronounced here and it didn't occur to me until I saw that post that Sonny and Sunny was pronounced exactly the same. I still think it's counter-intuitive to pronounced Sonny and Sunny the same.

Yes, but English is a very counterintuitive language.
Now I'm curious about where you live. Where is "sonny" (as someone might say, "Come here, sonny" to a little boy) pronounced to rhyme with Bonnie?
She's from Sweden.
English isn't her native tongue and English is a fairly atypical language in many ways.
