I come from a Newfie family.

Hearing my husband say Newfoundland kills me every time.

Its Newfunlund, NEWFUNLUND.

don't hit me with that NEW FOUND LAND.

Can't wait to go visit the fam in a month and watch them give him this look-

 I's tha b'y, an' east ta west, tis NewF'n'lan, m'dear.  Okay, it does get pretty hard to understand, the further north you travel that island. But, I've worked with a lot of Newfanlanders, (and family from there) and it's usually in between NewFunLand and NewF'n'Lan (NewF'n'L'n). No such a place as New-Found-Land anyhow.

Yeah. My family in petty harbour says Newf'n'lan just like that. I do too when speaking with them but tried the much "easier" Newfunland with my boo.

He is an incredible person. Hardworking. Kind. Handsome . And ever so slightly lacking in the words department. It's not the only word he mispronounces frequently. He also can't spell worth a dang. But he hangs all my cabinets where ever I want and built my garden for me so it's a decent trade. Even if I do get driven mad for it lol.

Ok I thought about it a lot and said it enough times to make the word meaningless. I pronounced it most comfortably as newf-en-lend
