I’ve always pronounced the word “Southern” to rhyme with howthurn. I know most people say it like “suthurn” instead. I didn’t realize that the way I pronounce it is considered weird until recently!

My aunt does the same with ‘salmon’.
Tbf my brother has a grade school teacher growing up with that as a last name and it was pronounced “SAUL-mon”. Seems confusing for children learning to read or ESL lol.
