Is it the same reason as Worcestershire mapped to "wooster" ?

Plymouth -> plee-mooth not ply-mouth

[foobarian]

Outsider! :-)

More like PLIM-uth. I guess there is no way to write it unambiguously in English

[loloquwowndueo]

Not outsider - non-native speaker.

[coldtea]

maybe "Pleemuth"?

[gib444]

Plymouth, England is PLIM-uth

[avadodin]

PLI-muth?

[gib444]

Haha thanks, typo

I hope you aren't talking about the one in Massachusetts which is not pronounced either of those ways

[loloquwowndueo]

No, im talking about this one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plymouth_(software)

[drdec]

But the link says it is named after Plymouth Rock which is indeed the Plymouth in Massachusetts

[coldtea]

Well, I wouldn't piss on the British for that, when Louisville is pronounced "LOO-vul" and not "Lou-iss-ville".

And don't get me started on Des Moines, Boise, La Jolla (at least that has an excuse), Spokane, Versailles, Tucson, Willamette, ...

And the worst of all: Arkansas.
