I’ve always pronounced the word “Southern” to rhyme with howthurn. I know most people say it like “suthurn” instead. I didn’t realize that the way I pronounce it is considered weird until recently!

        I always thought, growing up, the disease was called “tech’niss” and it took me years to connect it to Tetanus (tet-en-es) infection. I felt dumb. Phonetics are hard.
