Thread Name: MacPherson [how to pronounce?]
Subject: RE: MacPherson [how to pronounce?]
Great song!

Speaking of on-air folks. What drives me nuts is the people who move here and won't learn the proper pronunciation of place names. In Western Colorado the town is Mawn-TROZ, not MAWNT-roes for Montrose and you-RAY, not OO-ray for Ouray!

What's even worse, imo, is they've apparently changed the historical spelling of the Saguache mountains to the phonetic "Sawatch." At least the county name remained the original.
