The BBC Gets The Pronunciation Wrong

According to the BBC Six O’Clock News, Gateacre School has been closed because of the heat. The story is here on the Liverpool Daily Post site.

But the BBC pronounced Gateacre wrong, by effectively making the mistake of treating it as two words; gate and acre.

I made the very same mistake, when I first went to the city.
