Milton Keynes

  • ... that Broughton, Loughton and Woughton on the Green, three villages in Milton Keynes, England, each use a different pronunciation of the ough letter sequence in English? Morice, Dave (2005). "Kickshaws". Butler University. p. 228. Retrieved 4 March 2019.

  • Symbol confirmed.svg Date (though next time, please use the correct category for GAs) and length OK. Hook is fine as sourced inline though Template:Ping, I would consider looking for other hooks because I can see it getting comments about being "dull" on WT:DYK (please ping me if you do so I can review them). QPQ not needed as this is the nominator's first DYK. No close paraphrasing. Good to go. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 10:10, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
