I never paid attention to hosts like J Tracey saying Len knocks instead of Len nex...surprised they mispronounce The word Lenox.

Isn't she the one who says "aerosol" shoes? I've always lived in large cities with many dialects.......... I remember WAY back in grade school when there was a "controversy" over how to pronounce Caribbean.

I grew up in Westchester County...people from Manhattan and boroughs would call it upstate...anyway, there are tons of dialects I grew up hearing...still cringe when I hear earl (oil), turlit (toilet) ax (ask), yuuuuge (huge), and lots of dees and dems, whatevah!

Some of us have different ways of pronouncing words. My kids make fun of me the way I pronounce aluminum . I haven't lived that word down yet. I barely can spell it. Lol

<turlit (toilet> my mind goes to All in the Family's Archie Bunker when I hear that pronunciation!

I am glad their are differing dialects . It would be so boring if everyone sounded the same.

I will need to respectfully disagree. The pronunciation "Len-Ocks" is just as acceptable as "Len-ex".

As a proper noun, a name may be pronounced differently according to the wishes of the user.

My Lenox Outlet Store answers the phone "lenocks~~".1~~
