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!

But that is how horror is pronounced…
Every time I say it, someone comes back with “You mean haw-rur!?” Now I’m starting to think it’s just my area. 😅
Could use some international phonetic alphabet up in here.
To try to be a little clearer, the beginning of the word is typically pronounced like “whore”. Whore-er.
Hahr-er is not uncommon, either. Probably regional.
