Having a good mix of American and British followers, I'm tempted to ask if I'm actually pronouncing the following words wrong:
- Sewing, which I pronounce as soowing because sowing is a different thing.
- Mountain, which I don't pronounce as moun'in because then I sound like an old lady from Atlanta
- Costco, which to Americans has a silent t, but I've heard British people pronounce with the t.

@alda@topspicy.social To an Australian the silent t in Costco is new to me and totally weird.
