[Opinions] How do you pronounce Joseph and where are you from? (m)
Do you pronounce the last syllable with an 's' sound (JOE-seff) or a 'z' sound (JOE-zeff)? We are in the south-east of England and our son is called Joseph; we noticed most people say it with a 'z' sound, while we both say it with an 's' sound. Our Texan friend says it how my husband and I do.I was curious as to whether it's a UK/US English thing, a more local dialect thing or just personal preference! Interested in pronounciations from all around the globe.Don't you think you've seen enough?
