How do you pronounce the publisher Houghton-Mifflin?
Is it Huff-ton or Howton?
also, with Knopf, I've often wondered--do you pronounce the K? These are words I've only seen in print and never had to say outloud.

I know this because my step-dad had an account with them and all the people working for them pronounced it this way
According to the Cambridge English Pronouncing Dictionary the acceptable English pronunciations of Houghton are Haw-ton /hɔ-/ how-ton /hau-/, the US pronunciations are Ho-ton /hoʊ/, haw-ton /hɔ-/, hah-ton /hɒ-/ and how-ton /hau-/,
Never Huffton.
I'm not sure about Knopf, but Knopfler is pronounced without the k.
I have always heard it pronounced Who-ton Mifflin.
