And what's the correct pronunciation of William Cowper, the British poet? I vaguely remember hearing it pronounced Cooper.
That is the way we were taught to pronounce his name in Eng. Lit. classes.
Cooper and Hooper I would pronounce as in loose or Lew, but not in few. But just as the pigeon coos. But not how I would in the wood(pigeon).
