Re: Aenglisch
Re: Aenglisch
There's a street in St. Louis called:
​
Loughborough
​
'round hurr, its pronounced as "Loff - Burrow".
​
It's named after the town in England, which we pronounce 'Luff - burra' (with the a being more of a schwa, and the 'burra' verging on one syllable.
​
As for 'to be', that's irregular in every language I've ever come across, even ones with hardly any irregular verbs.
