Thames River. Was pronouncing its Tims, but I guess it’s Tems?!?

This one is just stupid, it still fucks me up but yeah, “Tems”. Ridiculous.

After nearly two and a half decades of mispronouncing it, I recently learned that Tom Delonge pronounces his last name as “De-long”, not “De-lonj.” Not going to correct myself going forward though.

How often are you saying his name out loud?

Con-trov-ersy is the maddest way of saying it. Hard v sound doesn’t belong in there!

I have no consistency and will pronounce all of these words depending on how I feel in the moment.

Tbf, it should rhyme with lozenge. That’s on Tom.

A loose canon!

Sometimes I change how I pronounce things depending on where they are in a sentence as far as what sounds are around them. This doesn’t make a lot of sense written down but hey.

Priest on the run!
