I pronounce "salmon", "solder", "colonel", "victual", "gunwale", "vineyard", and "indict" all phonetically. I still insist that they're alternative pronoucniations and not "wrong ways to pronounce them". If that's the case, then say "GIF" however the hell you want.

You should never say 'worcestershire sauce ' in public, you'll cause a riot.

This I can do without causing a riot.

But seriously though, the Brits have weird place names.

TIL victual is a word.

Wait until you learn that it's pronounced "vittle". I hate English now.
