Dear True Blood,

Glyndyfrdwy - it's not pronounced the way you think it's pronounced. But then, from what I can make out, neither is anything else.

:D

How is it pronounced? *looks curious*

In the show it was pronounced "GLEN-daffy-DOO-wee" and we all fell about roaring with unkind laughter, much as everyone born and raised in the South has been about the accents in the show.

It should be pronounced 'Glin' like the first syllable of Glinda, the good witch of wherever, 'duv' like in dove, "VUR" emphasised, like the first syllable of verdant, 'dwee' as in dweeb. So 'GlinduVURdwee'if you run it all together.
