Re: Correct pronunciation of "Whitwham's"?

all kinds of fun we can have debating how to pronounce some of the Portuguese shippers - Rozes anyone? Rozes is not and (as far as I am aware) has never been a Portuguese shipper. The origin is French. A giveaway is the accent on the "e", the "`" accent in Portuguese is only use...
