Jane says "Pottstown Pike N" as "Pottstown PeakNorth" No word-space between Pike and North

Peak? Peek?

Has anyone told her the US is a generally English-speaking country?

I thought I had heard that Jane was chosen because of her ability to pronounce things one way in one country and another way in another. Was I misinformed?

Jane pronounces it "U.W. clan"
Should be "you-chlƏn" (schwa sound in second syllable)

A UR reports that hoffmansville was mispronounced as "Houseman"

The UR will disappear soon. It states:
The diagonal Road is not houseman Road and is not straight across from New Hanover Square, Road

"Perrylawn" is pronounced "Pairalawn". I think the second syllable should be pronounced "ee"
