Ours is the traditional pronunciation. You fucks changed it after we left because you didn’t like to sound like provincial rebels.

To be fair, English could really use some simplification. It’s fucking bonkers.

Well, to be fair, we did win the war, so we (in effect) conquered England, which means we took ownership of the language as spoils of war.
I have no vested interest in that statement, but will argue vehemently in favor of it for entertainment purposes.
