Holy fucking shit. How has my tiny Welsh town made it here? I live near Mold (Yr Wyddgrug in Welsh), AMA I guess
Btw, in England it’s spelt mould, as in black mould, phonetically it still works though
-
Does Yr Wyddgrug translate to mold?
-
It translates to “The Mound”. There’s an old motte and Bailey castle from the Norman conquests which I guess is where it got the name. I guess that’s also where the English name came from, just corrupted over the centuries.

How do you pronounce it in Welsh? I'm sad to see that it's not on this super cool map
-
This site has a pretty good pronunciation https://historypoints.org/index.php?page=mold-place-names

It's funny cause this joke only works in American English about a British place... in all other English variants it's spelt mould :3

Huh, see this is actually how I use them. Mold for the verb 'to mold something' and it's associated noun, mould for the fungus.

The settling of the "new world" is one of the few times in history that intentional spelling reforms actually took.
Noah Webster published a dictionary with his preferred spellings, and because those dictionaries that disagreed were an ocean away, we spell things with less vowels and also we sometimes put our E's and R's in a different order.
