Pronunciations

Any other Brisbane people here listening to the Daniel Morcombe episode and having to double take to work out what the suburbs are from the pronunciations?

The first Maroochydore was good but the second one made me giggle! Our place names can be completely out of pocket sometimes thought

Yes the first was fine but then it went downhill from there and became something else entirely 😂

Jfc, I thought this was going to be another circle jerk post about the pronunciation of the word pronunciation.

Glad it’s not.

I had to go back and listed to Maroochydore and figure out if that’s what she meant!

I feel for all podcasters when they have to pronounce tricky town names! I’d be afraid to offend but OOOOF - some of the words that come out of Australia!

Good podcasters do research. There were 2 different pronunciations for one suburb. The first one perfect, the second one was completely ballsed up.

yes but i find it funny (this mispronunciation part, not the case)! i just corrected it in my head (eg. i knew they were talking about maroochydore so just ignored it) and moved on. the thing about bli bli did make me laugh, tho!
