My Dad, who worked in the Ministry of Defence, once had to entertain a very pompous German government official who prided himself on his fluent English. It was actually pretty good, except for the word "chaos", which he insisted on pronouncing "chouse" (rhymes with "house").
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
