Sorry, I forgot to mention the Fairclough we were talking about is Norman Fairclough, a professor from Lancaster. Brian got it right :) |

The internet is playing tricks on me, and people don't seem to agree on what the actual pronunciation is. No biggie, I'm just curious. |
I hope this poll has helped you, Marcus.

| You should have added a comedy option, say 'Fare-Clee'. Might narrow things down by process of elimination by distracting those who like to mess with data.:gsmile: |

All right, this counts as word of God then. If the Faircloughs pronounce their name this way, as you say, and people who know the surname in general also do, as System-J says, then we have a clear winner.
Fare-cluff it is. Poll is closed due to pronunciation aids. |
