To tell DH he is pronouncing DD’s name wrong.

DD is mainly known as a shortening of her name. Occasionally we call her the full versio. However I have noticed DH pronounces it in a different way to how I have ever heard it pronounced. I assumed there was just one pronunciation of it. I’m wondering if it would be reasonable to point it out? Or do I just live with it.

Sorry, I should written that as "teeyaw", really. I'm a poor/pour/paw/pore all sound the same person too. Common as muck, me.

"Teeyaw coffee" is precisely how I say it Smile We can roll around in the much together.

Muck.. much muck

It’s funny that you’re saying the “aw” thing is “common as muck”, because in my experience people tend to associate it with poshness!

To a degree. Coupled with a glottal stop and dropped H's though... Grin

Well, I h'am from the posh side of the Mersey Wink, but that's about as posh as it gets i.e. not very. Grin
