    I still can’t get my head around the fact Hegemony isn’t pronounced like Ceremony, “Hedge-eh-moany”.

    I was horrified to find out it’s “heg” like “leg” and “emony” like “lemony”. Such an uncomfortable word to say, it still trips me up every time I say it.

      Gotta get a petition running to change that, I refuse to believe it isn’t ‘Hedge’ - ‘emony’. Honestly that’s disgusting.

            Yep, so that corroborates my comment. If you know someone british they may speak hegehmony.

            I don’t encounter it often but I seem to be thinking I’ve mostly heard it in the states as, “Huh-jemmuny”
