That took me longer than it should have, as I automatically read Reading as Reading instead of reading. That’s rad.

Just rename the county to Bookshire ffs

Fun UK fact - we use a different ranking system for lecturers:

Lecturer Senior Lecturer Reader Professor

That means, at some point, someone has been a “Reader in X at Reading”.

There’s also the Reading festival. A common misconception is that it’s a music festival. It’s actually a festival of books.

OP clearly doesn’t know what the three shells are for.

To help my American lemmings with pronunciation: Red-ing and Bark-shere.

It’s a very good university too.

dogsoahC OP ,

Anglophones have no right to complain about French pronunciation. What the fuck is this shit?

Berttheduck ,

Tell me about it English is a bastardised language made up of so many different languages rules. Have you heard of Lee and Perrins Worcestershire sauce? It’s pronounced wuster-shere.

Great sauce btw, real umami flavour and great on cheese on toast.

My favourite is Wymondham. (Like the blowy kind,) Wind-um.

Also, fuck Worcester sauce.

I like Towcester.
Excellent for breakfast crumpets.

dogsoahC OP ,

I’ve heard it as “English isn’t a language. It’s three languages under a trench coat, pretending to be a language.”

James Acaster’s classic Kettering Town FC bit starts with another example 😁

Skua ,

Half the reason our pronunciation is so weird is that a bunch of French guys took over England

It would be so much easier if we had accents over our vowels, like in a lot of languages to indicate which of that vowels sounds was wanted.
