Book/Cook/Brook/Shook/Hook etc (almost any word ending with “ook”)

Is pronounced with a uck sound x

E.g Buck, Cuck, Bruck, Shuck, Huck

Absolutely wrong.

I pronounce that one normally it's the book's and cook's I get weird looks for, for not pronouncing them cuck and buck (from Londoners... because they're wrong!)

But saying 'took' instead of 'tuck' isn't?

No, because that's the correct way to say it.

So you say it like “tuke”?

[James]

Has anyone got any audio or video evidence of book being pronounced 'buck'? I've never heard of such a thing.

Nobody pronounces them cuck or buck. They pronounce them cook and book rather than cewk and bewk

[Ashley.]

Book.

No pronunciation is wrong, anyway. It just depends where you're from.

Oh I don't actually say "bewk" irl. I just chose that one bc it's the closest option to actually being right lol.
