Regular old spelling/pronunciation rules would have had me, along with the vast majority of the non-British world, pronouncing it blen-hime. That's what it looks like, and as you say, if I haven't been there, how am I to know people have been eliding it into blennum for a thousand years...
But, then, you have George Carlin talking about the way things are spelled vs. the way a group/person wishes them to be pronounced: Quote:
