British Struggle with W
The British have a strange relationship with W's. Not far from our house is a street called Warwick Road. The British pronounce the first W but the second is ignored: it is pronounced 'War-ick.'
Similarly, there is an area of London just east of us called Chiswick, (pronounced Chizz-ick). Strangely, the W is not acknowledged.
I guess sometimes it is hard to know what to do with a W.
