Except that gren-ich is correct and gren sweater is wrong.
You probably say East-Ham instead of Eastim.
But gren-ich didn't USED to be correct -- the name started out as
GREEN-wich, and usage perverted it to gren-wich. Just as usage is
perverting nu-klee-ar to nucular.
Actually I don't say either but I have heard British soccer announcers
say "East-Ham United." Or may it was a spoof of British soccer
announcers on Monty Python.
