10 Problems Only People From Crook Will Understand

5. Struggling With The Pronunciation Of 'Crook'

Arguments regarding the pronunciation of different words have existed since humans first developed language. While this is not attempt to stand in favour of either side of this particular division, it is obscurity that there seems no generally agreed way to say Crook even among its own residents. Is it pronounced 'Cruck' or 'Cruke'? It's quite a safe bet that if everyone in Crook was given a ballot and told to vote on this quandary, the result would not be far away from a 50/50 split. This doesn't help the pre-stated problem of outsiders not knowing where we are are, as many seem oblivious to the fact that when we say it one way, it is the same place as what they know as the alternative.
