As an aside, how do you pronounce TORTOISE.

I say it as "Tort Us", unlike the lass in this video. How about you.

I have to say that he looks his age ☺

Tor- toise!

[barry1010]

Tor tus

[Hazlinny]

Tor- toise (as in noise)

[Vagus]

Tor toys

[bobbinwales]

tor toyce - to rhyme with Boyce (asin Max Boyce)

[jno]

tautus

I stress the first syllable and don't say the R. Professor Higgins can probably deduce where I was born.

incidentally, the Mock Turtle seems to have done the same

//"We called him Tortoise because he taught us," said the Mock Turtle angrily: "really you are very dull!” //

I know a family called Tortice and everyone calls them tortus which is how I say tortoise (tawtus).

Tor toys. Also how do you pronounce ostrich? I’ve heard people say it as ostridge. Hope you don’t mind me posting this on your post, Canary.

Happy Birthday Jonathan. A mere stripling of a lad.
Depends where I am; in France - tor-twas; here tort-us.
