I’ve been hearing that since what, late 70s or early 80s? And it still makes me grin in a sloppy lopsided way. What a way to lose it. ---

> [@footballisplayedwithyourfeet](#): > > Contrary to popular opinion _Van Gogh_ is not (and has never been) pronanounced with an ‘f’ sound at the end. It can be, and it often has been.

(/h/ would be closer, but English phonotactics doesn’t normally permit that sound to appear at the end of a word.) ---
