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!

    That is how it’s pronounced though. Unless I’ve somehow been mispronouncing Heracles…

      Heracles is pronounced like /ˈhɛrəkliːz/ HERR-ə-kleez

        Ah, I’ve only ever seen it written. Usually it’s the Roman Hercules that I hear spoken. Thanks

          No problem! Not a very common word to come across in daily life :)
