I’ve always pronounced the word “Southern” to rhyme with howthurn. I know most people say it like “suthurn” instead. I didn’t realize that the way I pronounce it is considered weird until recently!

I pronounce “beautiful” as “be-ee-ah-ou-tee-ful” like it’s 6 syllables.
A long time ago I heard a radio (I’m old) caller saying they pronounced it that way to help them spell it, and i got infected. I never had an issue spelling it, it’s just so interesting that I can’t help myself.
I thank (and many many others) Bruce Almightys catch phrase “B-E-A-utiful” for remembering/learning how to spell the word.
