Checkmate, Chuck. 👑

Edit: Given the number of downvotes I’m getting, I’m guessing a lot of people have just learned that they’ve been pronouncing St. John wrong. Don’t beat yourselves up. It’s not like it’s a terribly common name.

    I am english, in the UK. I have never heard someone say sinjin instead of saint john. The only thing I can imagine is a local accent? But id think its more like sint jin (sint jawn?)

      That’s not how I’ve heard it pronounced. Not in the north at least. The T is mute. It’s “sinjin” (rhymes with Ken).
