      There’s a city (town) in Oklahoma called Miami. If you pronounce it as you would you’d be quickly and redneckedly corrected. It is pronounced “my am uh” as anyone with a shred of sophistication would already know.

      (It’s actually a native word, but still, I like jokes. They hide the pain)

        Lafayette Georgia is “luh-FAY-et” and Madrid Alabama is “MAD-rid” because stupidity is standard practice where I’m from.

        There’s a city in California called Van Nuys (pronounced like van eyes) and I very often hear it pronounced as it looks spelled (Van Newies).

      my favorites from Texas:

      Buda -> “byou-duh” (byou as in beautiful) but NEVER “BooDah”. Occasionally you’ll hear “buttah”, but I’m sure those people are trolling

      Bourne: Bernie

      Bexar: Bear (Should be beHar, as in Harm, just like Texas is actually TeJas like the Ha in Hans.

      D’Hanis: DaHennies, like “da pennies”

      Weirdly most of the German places names are pronounced correctly, probably because they were founded by Germans who produced their names correctly for long enough that it stuck.
