More From Wodehouse
A note, again, from the Wodehouse bio I'm reading gives some examples of Old English spellings and pronunciations, such as "Wodehouse" which is pronounced wood-house. The two examples given are "Cholmondeley" and "Featherstonehaugh."
Test yourself by giving each a shot at pronunciation. The answers are here. (Hint: the second one is NOT pronounced feather-stone-haw.)
