5. Notice how much easier it is to say "duh" than "der"
The tongue has to work extra hard to get that "der" appended to the Chow.

Much easier to just let go and say "chow-duh"

11. The right way
What is with these pronunciation questions? They all have the same answer, as far as I am concerned.

12. Mmmmm. Chowdah.
This midwestern boy picked the NE pronunciation up during three years in Boston for law school. Also picked up a taste for chowdah, which is not usually seen here in Minneh-so-da.
