Reply to: Pronunciation both in the US and globally by Lillian
Have you been outside of Texas much? :) I would assume someone who pronounced Sawyer as "Soyer" did have a Texas (or otherwise Southwestern) accent. I have always said "Saw-yer", just like it's spelled. My accent is that of someone who grew up in a suburb of Buffalo, New York, modified a bit by the fact that my parents were from the Virginia-West Virginia border area.
