Mark Clark | Folklore: Local place names - local pronunciation (122* d) | RE: Folklore: Local place names - local pronunciation | 12 May 15 |
I've long assumed the U.S. to be the worst offender when it comes to pronunciation of place names. I still remember picking up our French foreign exchange student at the airport and asking about her flight. She said they went through customs at Day-Twah'. It took me a minute to realize that she was using the correct pronunciation for the city we know as Dee-Troyt (Detroit). |
