Point of interest – Björk rhymes with “work,” not “fork.” 😉
@Drew I want to believe you–but I’ve always heard it the other way and a cursory internet search… (See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKohmvEm-C8) shows otherwise.
This is by no means conclusive, but can you provide a link to something that supports what you’re saying?
It’s one of those where most people pronounce it the “English” way and rhyme it with fork but when you hear it pronounced by Icelandic speakers it rhymes more with work. http://forvo.com/word/bj%C3%B6rk/
I’d always tried to say it properly but I’ve given up as too many people pronounce it the other way.
