Erm, we pronounce those the same way you guys do.
Horay for inconsistances!

Yeah, but don't try to sprain your tongue by saying "Henry has hidden my hatchet." or "The strife of your life can be ended by the knife."

Hi jonb,
You just reminded me of the absolute worst tongue twister I ever came across.
It is - "The rain ceaseth but it sufficeth us."
I told it to a friend once but he seemed unable to remember it long enough to try to say it, so I wrote it out for him. He then carefully and slowly read it saying each word correctly except the last word which he pronounced "uth". I died.
