It’s not south-more or souph-more or soft-more.
Why does this one give so many people trouble?

The two or three syllable issue is a legitimate linguistic debate.
Both ways are technically correct I tend to use the 2 syllable version the majority of the time but when reading it I tend to include a swallowed middle syllable.

The only time the 3-syllable variant was acceptable was when Keith Jackson was introducing college football players during the game of the week.

Now, why do British people pronounce it "Left-tenat?"

I bet more people spelled it correctly back then.
