I was watching "The Graham Norton Show" tonight. One of the guests

tortoise. She pronounced it "tort-oyse". Kinda. Actually, she
pronounced it as it is spelled. Is this a Welsh thing? Americans say
"tort-us".

Most Americans I know say "turtle".

But will the turtle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by?
Save my Myrtle as she hurtles
Through the sky, Lord, through the sky.
