Typical in Toronto - remember there’s only one T in “Toronto”
4 comments

There's also only one T in "Atlanta". (For some people there are none.)
Definitely heard "Alana" in the South. On the West cost right now, got a buddy from West Virginia, and even after 20-30-some-odd-years in California, he still says it like that. Among other things he boomhauers.
I didn't realize "boomhauer" could be verbed.
'oronto?
...and the first o is silent, and the remaining o's are pronounced 'a'.

But the TV news reporters enunciate every letter in Toronto.

ROFL. I ignore this sacred rule
