I don't think I've noticed anyone saying it different to that. Am I going mad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddywhack Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Well this is a revelation. I had no idea they were people out there saying 'corter' and I was happier not knowing. I've been on the other side of this kind of thing though, I used to pronounce 'H', 'Haitch". And I stand up to wipe my arse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
