How do you say it?
A courier in the ACT (which is sort of like Canberra and a couple of parks) wants to know how to pronounced the name of a street in McKellar. The street sign says:
DUMAS ST
Some of the choices are: do-mass, dumb-ass, duma's (like puma's), dum-mars? Any recommendations from the English literate out there?
I can sort of imagine a Dr. Richard Cranium PhD coming from a Dumas Collage, Dumas Street, McKellar, ACT.
