    That’s not even the worst. The one that pisses my off is how “St Johns” is pronounced “Sinjin”. Wtf it’s not hard to pronounce in the first place, why the fuck is it said like that?!

      Based on absolutely nothing, my guess would be from the French pronunciation with a bit of a vowel-shift.
