However, I have a question about Arundel. I have heard of the English place by that name and have always wondered how it should be pronounced. I live on Arundel Street in St Paul and we say uh-RUN-dull. I have the feeling that's not quite "British". Of course, Minnesotans are notorious for using international names and changing pronunciations willy-nilly--thus Montevideo is MON-tuh-vid-eeo and Milan is MILE-un. So if you can offer any insight into Arundel, I'd love it!Ms Sparrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03417670251423549014noreply@blogger.com
