LESS Mc Burney
Oh! I pronounced Les with a voiced final consonant, so it never even occurred to me to pronounce it that way. That’s clever.
I’m not sure what that means. Did you think it was pronounced Lez/Liz?
Yeah. Like “Leslie”, without the “lie”. Or like the French plural definite article (when the final consonant is pronounced due to a liaison) “les”.
