Some sort of lookup database for pronunciation would be good, where we can add problem names a they are found.
Some more particular problems I have heard frequently are Vale of Belvoir, Groby, Whitwick and thats is just some in Leicestershire.

We could concentrate our efforts on acses where the pronunciation is problematic; such as "Reading" or (as mentioned already) "Clough". There is already the possibility, discussed in the blog post comment I mentioned, of automating some of this; and like all information tags, this would be optional; no-one has to add anything. -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk
