<p>‘Choate’ as in Choate Rosemary Hall. I know some people pronounce as ‘sho-ate’, some ‘ko-ate’, and some ‘shote’. It’s really confusing!</p>

<p>?</p>
<p>I’ve always heard/said it as something like “Chote” and I’m too lazy to listen to the MW pronunciation thing, so ignore me if I’m wrong.</p>
<p>its like the cho in choke</p>
<p>Ch- choke
Oa- O
