Oh yeah...a few favorites........

As you travel around the midwest check how people say these town names:
Lima (Sorry, it's not Lee-mah, in Ohio it's Lye-muh)
Versailles (yeah, you guessed it...Vur-Sales)
Belefontaine (somehow this one becomes Bell-FOUNT-ton-note the doubled consonant)
LaFayette (At least in Ohio our Lah-Fee-YET is better than Georgia where it's La-FAY-it)
