Have you been pronouncing this university incorrectly and are willing to admit it?

No, but methinks someone around here did do that!

I have always called it Johns Hopkins.

First, I have never said it wrong – I used to live in the area and it was simply a known fact.

Second, I’ve been on the campus several times. Lovely place. Lots of older brick buildings and greenery.

I’ve always pronounced both esses. It’s the thing that makes it most distinctive. Otherwise it’s just a school in Baltimore. :)

I usually say it wrong simply because it rolls off the tongue more easily. It’ not something that comes up in my everyday conversation. I’ve never been corrected.

Aren’t we all given tutorials on this every year from sportscasters come the NCAA basketball tournament?

No, I have called it Johns Hopkins.

I pronounced it John’s Hop Kings.

I live in Maryland, so the name’s pretty well known here.
