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!

    Agate. Apparently I pronounce it the British way rather than the American way because I had read the word many times while never having heard it spoken aloud.

      I didn’t know what this was so I had to Google it. Then I had to look up a video of how to pronounce it. Doesn’t seem like a word that many people would know you’re pronouncing incorrectly unless it involves their hobby or field of study, but maybe I’m just dumb or something.
