I think that this is incorrect English.
I would like to seek your opinion on a suitable correction for the sign.
‘House Removal Service’ ==> Does the business is offering a service to remove a house?
I think a possible correction could be ‘House Moving Service’?

How is the word ‘edifice’ pronounced?

You pronounce ‘edifice’ as ‘ED-uh-fis’, with the stress on the first syllable!
Is it ‘bear, bore, born’ or ‘bear, bore, borne’?

Hi Soh!
Guess what? Both are correct! ‘Borne’ is an alternate spelling of ‘born’!
We suggest just sticking to ‘born’ though. We like to keep things simple.
How do you pronounce ‘oregano’?
Thanks,
STOMPer Tutu
Hey STOMPer Tutu!
Mm, oregano. We love the smell of oregano!
You can pronounce ‘oregano’ two ways, STOMPer Tutu!
You can either say ‘uh-REG-uh-noh’ or ‘aw-REG-uh-noh’, both with the stress on the second syllable!
