[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: Pronunciation (weird names)

[ender_w]

Well, the US has some weird pronunciations as well.  When I was in college, I lived in a dorm named "Worcester"  pronounced "Wooster."  Friends of mine live in a town named "Taneytown" pronounced "Tawneytown."  And the natives get very annoyed if you call it Tay-nee-town.
And I still call Dacula (duh KOO luh) Georgia "Dracula."

  Hi everyone - I came across in connection with this thread as I was doing a 
  very boring task - it probably does originate in the UK.

  Wauchope

  And for 50 galleons how do you pronounce this?

  War-hope.

  Go figure. Of course it's affectionately known as war-chop-ie.
