Speaking of the UK, today I learned from my teammates in London that “Greenwich” is pronounced like “Grenich”, instead of like “sandwich”. I’m sorry, I’m an American who lives under a rock, I don’t know anything! 😭 (Yesterday I was in a group of 5 people and everyone else started imitating an apparently very famous EDM track called “Sandstorm”, and I was the only person standing around, very awkward…)
