Pronunciations can differ.In England
“oo” in words is pronounced like oo while
we may say “uh”

Booker T and the MGs
In US “Buhker”,UK “Boo-ker

yet in US, the words
“boo” and “woo” are pronounced to
rhyme with “true”

In UK “lieutenant” —”left-tenant”
In US “loo-tenant”
Yet ask a Britisher to say “lieu”
(as in,”place”...”in lieu of”)
and I think they’d pronounce it “loo”

How do you say school? I say it with an ewww! before I say school. Well at least for most public schools.
