How do you pronounce 'Holmesglan'?

my question is as stated above.

"Holmesglan" is extremely rare, with just 14 hits on Google. There is a "Holmesglen" with 225000 hits. Is that what you mean?

(BTW, I never heard of either place -- they seem to be in Oz)

Yep. hehe.. I made a typo there. Yes. It is "Holmesglen". It is not a place but it is an Institue name in Oz. I am confused to know whether people pronounce 'l' in 'Holmes' or not.

*Institute...

I don't pronounce the <l> in "Holmes". I've never heard of Holmesglen before, but my intuitive impression is that I would pronounce it ["hoUmz%glEn], like "homes glen".

Holmesglen Institute of TAFE has the first L silent, same as Sherlock Holmes. If there's any more Holmesglens around they may be pronounced differently particu'ly if they're in America, where spelling-based pronunciations seem to rule placenames.

Thanks for your help. It was very much appreciated.

Well you can't generalize. Worcester is still [wUst@(`)] round here. ;-)

That reminds me of a pet peeve that I used to have. That pet peeve was when people pronounced ''worcester'' as /w3`tSEst@`/ i.e. ''wur chester''. Have you ever heard anyone pronounce it that way?

I don't think anyone from Massachusetts would call it that, but I have heard "Worcester" mispronounced occasionally by people from other parts of the country.
