Before I heard it being said I kept pronouncing the surname “Mangione” as “Man-jee-own” rather than “man-jo-nee” and I’m still ashamed about it lol I’m sorry

    I have American friends who couldn’t pronounce it. it was always some variant of “Glow-kester-sheer” but tbh I can’t blame them, the spelling doesn’t do the pronunciation justice 😂

      Start intentionally pronouncing “Pittsburgh” with the -burgh suffix from Edinburgh or Musselburgh to get them back

      I think I’m supposed to say “gl” and then the vocal equivalent of “asdfasdfasdf”
