[Vwoolf] Talland House

[Mark Scott]

My experience is that Americans pronounce it both ways.  As Jeremy Hawthorne wrote, the city in Missouri (not Kansas or Illinois) is pronounced Saint “Lewis” (Louis) whereas the great jazz trumpeter is almost always referred to as “Loo – ee” (Louis) Armstrong.

  Ordered and anticipated!

  And a bit of trivia. Do Americans pronounce Woolf's "Louis" "Lewis"or "Loo - ee"? Saint Louis is Saint Lewis (except when sung by Chuck Berry), so I found myself wondering. Brits I think all use Loo - ee, although I'm open to correction on this.

  I may have asked this before, if so apologies.
