[hippyhoppy]

Why on Strictly do they call Louis 'Lewis' not 'Lou-ee' (a-la France).. just a ponder..

[rojash]

Different people pronounce it different ways - Louis should be Louee, Lewis is Lewis, IMO

[factor-fiction]

Maybe they asked him how he wanted his name pronounced

[hc4361]

Because that's the way his mother calls him?

Or maybe he thinks 'Looeeee' is a bit effete?

Why do you say 'may of' instead of 'may have'? Just asking.

I know i sound like Mark here, but it's may have, not may of.

(sorry, bit of a bug bear of mine)

[woofgang]

sorry but mine too.

:-) @ rojash

[boxtops]

Mine too, but I couldn't be bothered to comment

[NoMercy]

My cousin has a son called Louis, pronounced "Lewis".

[hippyhoppy]

Apologies B00.. re the slip up in wordage..

[Jonathan-Joe]

Perhaps the question should be "Why spell the Louis, if it's pronounced Lewis?"

[woofgang]

and the answer would be why not?
