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!

    Huh. I always thought the colour had the emphasis on the second syllable and had no idea about the software, but it turns out I’ve been wrong all along.

    I’m going to blame “Azores” (which can be either, apparently) and “assure” (which is always emphasis second) for this as being the model(s) for my mistake.
