The Pope Francis I knew: Reflections from CNN's Vatican correspondent

Pope Francis had a great sense of humor. When I met him once at the back of the papal plane, I cracked a joke with him that was a little bit close to the line. Luckily, he roared with laughter and told me "Sei cattivo!" ("You're naughty!"). Every day, he used to say, he prayed the words of St. Thomas More: "Lord, give me a sense of humor."

British place names you're probably saying wrong and how to pronounce them correctly | CNN

Island nations are exposed to all manner of intriguing customs, cuisines and cultural quirks. They can also wind up with some thoroughly strange place names.

The article from CNN Travel discusses the frequent mispronunciation of British place names by both foreigners and locals, highlighting the complexities of the English language. It features a list of commonly mispronounced places such as Bicester, which is often mistakenly pronounced as "Bi-cester" instead of the correct "Bister," and Towcester, which should be said as "Toe-ster" rather than "Tow-cester." Other examples include Godmanchester, which is pronounced "Gum-ster," and Southwark, which is correctly said as "Suth-uk." The article also touches on the historical and linguistic reasons behind these pronunciations, such as the influence of Old English and local dialects, and provides tips for travelers to avoid these common errors when visiting the UK.
