professor pronunciation

The unusual pronunciation of common words by university professors.

My history professor says "Po-land" instead of "Poland." Is it really the land of the Po?

I thought "God" rhymed with "odd" but my professor says "Gah-haw-d" as if it had three syllables.

Dude, that's professor pronunciation; get used to it.

Back to you Leen-DAH."
