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!

My wife made fun of me the other day for pronouncing the h in homage. I quickly got my revenge when dictionary.com offered my way as the first pronunciation.
Oh-mage is fancier I will admit.
On Merriam Webster the first pronunciation is without the h. I wonder which way the Brits do it-- everything involving h’s seems to be opposite the US (looking at you, herb).
