this is really just for the Americans.....I've just watched the highlights of the World Pipe Band Championships at Glasgow Green......my question is how would you lot say Glasgow....I've heard a few Americans say it and not one of them has pronounced it right yet...

Glass-go

I hear it said thusly:

glass-go

glass-cow (rhymes with ow)

glass-co

glass gow (rhymes with ow)

*doesn't know the right way*

D'Anconia was right......well it's not glass-go....more like glaz-go

H3 might disagree

what about "Ed-in-burg"

I've been saying the word all night...Glasgow that is....and it's not so much Glaz-go and Glas-go
glass-go is too hissy...

Edinburgh...I pronounce Edin-burru....as in rhyming with thorough

I like the way you lot speak.

I pronounce it as Glaz-go.

A few names I learned when I was in wales are:

Sillbury - Sill-bree

Avebury- Ave-bree

schedule- shed-jewel

We have some names people don't know the right way to pronounce here too, like Sequim (S-kwim), Seiku (See-que) and Puyallup (Pew-al-up) to name a few.

I live in Sooke, occasionally called Suk


"Hi, you're in 'Suk'?"

(originally T'Souke)

we have a few places that is said nothing like they're spelt...for instance

Milngavie is pronounced Millguy
