The correct name of the dominant university in South Bend, Indiana, is pronounced as the French would -- the founder, after all, was of French extraction and the religious order there is abbreviated CSC -- for "Congregation de la Sacre Coeur" or however the French spell it.

But it's bastardized into "The University of Notre Dame du Lac", and there is an ongoing discussion among pedants there that it SHOULD be "des Lacs" since there are TWO lakes and not one and so...and so I ignore it and have another beer.

But, of course, everyone just calls it "ND" or "Noter Dame".
