    I’m American and it would never occur to me to say it any other way than trono. I’m from New York though, maybe we’re more prone to skipping a few letters here and there (it’s maha’m, not Manhattan)

        lol my Ontario coworker once explained it to me this way: the closer you get to Toronto, the less syllables it has. Perhaps BC is just too far away to know the real pronunciation
