Anon has an unexpected day

Exactly what I was thinking: shut the fuck up anon, and let drywall dude speak.

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)

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 of the Ja in Jalapeño)

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.
