![Correct pronunciation: 'Dod-erth'. "Being non-yorkshire I'd all sorts of problems getting a bus from surrounding areas back to Dodworth [Dod-duth]. Lovely place and smashing people." - Paul Xeb Stephenson.

Back in July, we asked The Yorkshire Post readers to tell us the most commonly mispronounced place names they’ve heard.
We had hundreds of submissions, including Slaithwaite, Sowerby Bridge, and Keighley. One reader even said she’d heard Knaresborough be pronounced “Canary’s burrow".
After the story was published, the comments did not stop – and it turns out there are plenty of other places our readers think we should include on the list.
So here are 10 more mispronounced names in Yorkshire, according to you, our readers.
5. Wetherby
Correct pronunciation: 'Weh-thu-bee'. "Americans pronounce wetherby as wet herby" - Wendie Lazenby Photo: James Hardisty
6. Northowram
North-o-wram" was another one that people seem to use instead of Northowram. It is pronounced North-ar-um. Photo: Jim Fitton
7. Southowram
Closely followed by Southowram. The pronunciation is south-ar-um. One reader said: "I once had someone say "Suth-er-am" several times before I realised they meant Southowram". Photo: James Hardisty
8. Sleights
Correction pronunciation: 'Slites' "I lived for some time in West Yorkshire, where I was constantly being teased for my North Yorkshire accent. It gave me great pleasure to correct a workmate, who was horrible to me, when she told me that she was going to Slates near Whitby for her holiday." - Rowena Bentley Photo: CO
