Is It Shrosbury or Shrooosbury??

Have you ever heard anyone refer to Shakespeare's play, "The Taming of the Shrow"?

schrosberie

It's either.

That's eether or ither by the way.

Don't mention scones!

I usually go along with the pronunciations used by whoever I'm conversing with, but I'm still no pushover in this respect.

Someone pronounced ''Linux'' as ''Line ux'' the other day, and I wasn't having that. No way!
I quickly smacked them down.

There is a limit, they can only go so far before the hackles start to rise.

Of course, the correct pronunciation is 'Shrowsbury'.

If the correct pronunciation were 'Shrewsbury', no-one would ever dream of saying Shrowsbury.

So the fact that some say one and some the other proves my point.
