Once again two countries separated by a common language. In the States, it's pronounced closer to "gren-itch" rather than "green-wich." Either way, what a remarkable race!

[@acerld519]

Don't know why Martin was pronouncing it like that, it's pronounced 'gren-itch' by every English person I've met, too.

[@sereneprogress]

@@acerld519 yeah it's hilarious. Both commentators would naturally say 'gren-itch', which you can hear Martin say at 3:07. They must have assumed that the Americans pronounce it more literally, which they usually do when it comes to place names. For example, the river running through New London, CT is the "Thames" with a soft "Th" ("thaymes")!

[@stuartwalker8755]

probably assumed Americans pronounce it more literally. Like Berkley/Berkeley or Berkshire being burkley/burkshire (rather than the correct British English pronunciation of Barkley/Barkshire)
