Salisbury

[Scott]

Ben confused us by writing:
"Salisbury is not pronounced as it is spelt :))
Indeed not, it's pronounced Sarum."

Simon quoted the OED:
"SARUM: The ecclesiastical name of Salisbury, used attrib. in 
Sarum Use, the order of divine service used in the diocese of 
Salisbury from the 11th century to the Reformation; so Sarum missal, 
office, rubric. Also absol. "

Amy echoed my own sentiments:
"I still want to know how to pronounce Salisbury!
...but can't think of anything to do to Salisbury except skim over 
the "i" and the "u": Salzbree."

--I too am rather confused. I would most likely pronounce this word 
SAUL'S-brie.  But I'm guessing that's wrong. OTOH I just can't see 
sarum...

I know to pronounce 'Pall Mall' as 'Pell Mell'.(that is right. Right?)
BTW, how do you pronounce Marlyebone? Marl-burough?
