And in Illinois, Bourbonnais (south of Chicago) just had a town vote on whether to keep the traditional (for them) "Bur-BONE-ness" or go with the technically correct "Bur-buh-NAY." The town voted for the old Bur-bone-ness, but the media is insisting on using the French form ever since the Chicago Bears moved their training camp there. But I paid them back while we were there on vacay, by translating Bares into Beers every chance I got. Cuz I'se a Mudcatter you know, and if we know anything it's bear. And what else for Chicago but bear, in Burboness or anywhere else?
