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!

Bona fide. It’s latin, you say it Bow-nah Fee-day.
Et cetera is similarly “et ketera”, unless you’re using Italianate ecclesiastical pronunciation. Then it’s “et chetera”, hard ch like church in English.
Nice ! have you studied Latin ? I studied very shortly but my interest piqued only after that brief period
Only bit at uni and that was over two decades ago. I only use what I learned to produce technically correct yet insufferable Latin pronunciations to lovingly harass friends and family.
haaaahh we’re the same breed. cheers
