English callers and dancers clearly have no trouble saying or

Possibly you're seeing selection bias in English. At least in the SF Bay
Area, contra is more popular than English, and I wonder how much of that
difference is due to this issue. (This discussion is making clear that
a significant chunk of my ECD dislike is due to this issue.)
