It's a losing battle....like the word WASH. Some say Wah-sh, some say War-sh...
It has everything to do with how it's pronounced in your region of the world.....
Now me.....I'd say More Fee instead of Mur Fee.
Mur Fee must be an English pronunciation....More Fee is American.
Hey, we say aluminum....they say aluminium....there is no extra I in there....
Do as the Romans do.....
You will be.....Assimilated.

Beef Stew One package of Beef stew meat One package of McCormick Beef Stew Seasoning mix onion, bell pepper, garlic carrots (if you like them potatoes cut up Put everything in crock pot and add your favorite seasonings (just a sprinkle b/c stew seaoning packet is flavorable) add about three cups of water and cook for 7 hrs on low. When you are buying your seasoning mixes just look for some that goes with pork or chicken and you can do the same with those. Chicken breast with any pasta sauce cooked on low all day is good too. Just cook the pasta on the side when you are ready to eat. Beef stew meat with BBQ sauce on low shred meat at end of day and serve on buns.

years ago there was an advert on TV where the woman sang 'its not that I'm a boaster but my MOR-FEE Richards toaster is the best in the world'. A crap slogan, but I'm sure its proof you are right

is it Mor-ph-ey as it hasn't a "U" in it and is often mistaken for Murphy when its not.
