Then it would be Ellis that starts with El not ALLIS

Triple C Celebrants :
When the F1 is on in Melbourne, all of the local reporters say "Elbert Park Malbourne" instead of "Albert Park Melbourne". The locals deny it, but the rest of us hear it.

Im from Melbourne. I don’t pronounce it Alice. It’s Ellis. Starting with the way you’d say the letter L. I don’t understand why anyone would say Alice.

Why are you pronouncing the E as an A? 🤔

It’s Ellis. I don’t see any scenario where an Aussie would pronounce that genuinely as Alice.

As a Melbournian, I'm struggling to figure out how to say "Ellis" any differently from "Alice" 😂 they both start with how I pronounce the letter "L"

Same reason Melburnians say Malbourne, rather than Melbourne.

Is this a specific part of Melbourne? I've lived here my whole life and never noticed people saying A instead of E.

for all those wondering, we LITERALLY cannot pronounce EL. I feel like I'm swallowing a rock when I try it just comes out like AL and we really don't hear the difference.
