Here “bus” is pronounced like “buzz” and I didn’t realise it was weird until I went down to Devon and it was a dead giveaway that I’m a Brummie lol

    In the Maritimes, Dalhousie (the university) is pronounced: “dal-HOW-zee”.

    In Ottawa, Dalhousie (the street) is pronounced: “dal-HOOOOOO-ze”.

    I don’t know why, but I find the Ottawa pronunciation really annoying.
