Yes, Hans was an Anglophile.

It was named after the House of Tudor whose emblem was a Rose surrounded by a Shield.

So yes, this is the correct pronunciation.

So, basically, you all gave up and adjusted the spelling to match your pronunciation.
It's ok, all water under the bridge....

And not "Choo", it's not a tank engine, it still starts with a "T"

Yes, seems like us colonists like to reduce the number of letters in words. Aluminum vs aluminium is just one example.

You ‘mericans are so funny but have no idea.

Don’t get me started on the simple ones you stuff up such as Ducati (Dewcati ), Subaru, Nissan, etc. etc.

We Scottish are the only race what can speak proper.

It’s pronounced ‘Tudor’.

When you say, suit. Do you say soot, or seeut, or like me, do you just
prefer the London vernacular...."whistle"?
