But not exactly tho, I am not justifying Shamita's pronunciation but there are two types of pronunciation for any word, American and British. Sword is pronounciated as SORD according to American pronounciation. Sword is pronounciated as SAWD according to British pronounciation. However, some people in India do have the trouble with O's, R's and A's hence we get a fusion of SORD and SAWD!

Neither pronunciation stresses on the W the way they had been pronouncing. SW-OAD. 😆

Yeah they mess up the O and the A resulting in plethora of fusions 🤣
