Saying Ahmsterdahm instead of emsterdem

That's just common sense. Who would say emsterdem?

The difference is saying the am and dam like the american english version of those words, versus saying both As like the beginning of Amish.

Funny thing is that both ways aren't quite right, as both As should be short. The second way is best though
