It's Tranna! and my favourite Balliol Street, pronounced Bal-oil, here in Tranna, when it's proper pronunciation (after the Oxford College) is Baly -ol. Go Sceptres.....pronounced skept trays, I assume...🤣
Wow, this the first time I’ve ever seen Torontonians pronounce Balliol correctly! It is of course BAY-lee-uhl, after the Oxford College. The circumstantial evidence that it was named after the Oxford college is that the street directly to the south is Merton, which is also an Oxford college. In my experience, 95% of Torontonians are unable to pronounce Balliol correctly.
What an incredible bunch. I can't wait until the day I will actually be able to buy a ticket to a game; you know, when they are not completely sold out months in advance. LOL Awesome group and great players.
Everyone else in Ontario does too, Toronto changed drastically in the early 2000s to feel special with their new and upcoming influencer culture ☠️ they were the first hipster city lmao
Yes, it's really just sloppy enunciation. I know a 94 year-old retired English teacher, born here (in fact I think her grandfather was born here) and she pronounces the second "t".

Emma: "Queen's Quaaayyy" is this supposed to be hard? 🤣🤣🤣
they should try Roncesvalles next!
I saw the title and that was the first name that came to mind!
@@hancockiSame here 😂
@@hancocki For me, it was "Spadina"! That would have been fun for them to try.
What about ‘Roncesvalles’ & the debatable ‘Spadina’ 😊
"GOVERNOR" 🤣🤣🤣

I lived on Balliol in a high rise apartment back in the 70's. I said it "Bay - lee-ol"., accent on the first syllable.

Great way to be introduced to our new Toronto ladies hockey team.

Hi! Tickets are still available for purchase this season: ticketmaster.ca/toronto-sceptres-tickets/artist/3086190
1:11 Elle Woods plays for the Scepters 😂
CJ Jackson! Love the hair!
Spadina was pronounced Spa-Dee-na originally. They should have gone with Shutter (Shooter), Pape (as the French version of pope).
Honestly, this just reminds me of how annoyed I get with the pronunciation of these places lmao
People define pronunciation. So, there's that. :)
Another good one would be Baby Point Road.
‘Yonge’ and ‘Bloor’ always confuses people from out if town-
I've been living here for a year, and I've been pronouncing it as toe-ron-toe the whole time 🙀
Don't feel bad. I've lived here all my life (almost 70 years) and also call it toe-ron-toe.

Totally love this!
Trethewey and Roncesvalles most mispronounced
0:00, 1:49 😔
Love this
Watts went to BSS though…?
Gloucester
I bet they’re glad they didn’t have to pronounce other Ontarian cities, Guelph would’ve been fun💀
Shuter Street
(pronounced Shoo-ter)
Is it trethewey or tretheway
Threth ewe eeee. (Treth rhymes with death)
Penetanguishene 😅😂

Balliol and Jackes
I used to live on Balliol St. Many people pronounced it "bell-oil". It's actually "Bay-lee-ol", first syllable stressed.
@gabithemagyar i didn't know that. Makes more sense than bell-oil, I admit
Etobicoke. Nanticoke. Discuss.........
Ha ha ha ha! Good one!
These are just British pronunciation
It's almost like Canada was colonized by the Brits
I was born here 66 years ago and I always pronounce the second 'T' in 'Toronto. If your tongue is too lazy to handle it, that's not my fault.
Counterpoint: no.
Same here .... born here 69 years ago.
