maybe a dingo ate your concert.
Last I heard it was in Fez - Being (Mel)Bo(u)rn(e)
Ya friends, sorry to tell you, that’s your accent.
You do. You all pronounce the 'bourne' part with every letter. Like how I'd say Jason Bourne.
Whereas it is pronounced almost 'bn'.
Touring bands from New Zealand, the UK, Ireland, Europe, anywhere really: hello Melbourne!
Touring bands from the US: hello MelBOOOUUUUURRRNNNNE!
I say Bris-bin. I have no issue with that and saying that folks who say Bris-bayne are pronouncing. It wrong.
Mel-burn vs Mel-bun is because Aussies (and Brits) have the tendency to not say last-syllable r’s. Similar to American tendencies of replacing inner t’s with d’s (water = waw-dur)
Or next you’ll tell me New York is simply pronounced Nyewwyowek
You're wrong lol.
I replied in fun with an interesting food-for-thought on sociolinguistics the first time. I got a short-and-disregarding response so I explained. With an article that spoon feeds you examples of exactly the difference between the way we speak in this instance. You’re not obliged to read that, but save me the “you’re wrong lol” mockeries if you don’t want to.
Nobody in the world. Except, you know, it’s a fucking city in Florida, too.
It has everything to do with your accent versus ours. This lofty Internet bullshit is tiresome.

There’s a good god damn common ancestor between Aussies and kiwis and Bostonians and the southern United States redneck. None of you wish to take on the your Melbourne r. That’s how you fucking speak. That’s not how the General American accent works.

Keep up with the order of replies, friend.
