    Maybe that's why it's called English.

    >Gee, that's how Muslims pronounce it....:laugh:

    I suppose you don't like how French people pronounce French words, either? The ultimate Ugly American?

    Not admitting making mistakes is not the same as blaming others or making lame excuses for the mistakes one makes, as Obama did.

    There was a church I used to attend in Okeechobee, FL. The pastor of the church was known for saying:

    Miama instead of Miami

    Missoura instead of Missouri

    Around here, I have heard numerous pronounciations of New Orleans. I've heard it pronounced the following ways:
    New Orle-ans

    New Or-leans

    New Or-lens (that's how I say it)

    (and my favorite) "Nawlins" - 1 word & 1 syllable.

    Here where I live you can easily tell that people are from out of town when they say the city of Mobile's name as Mo-bil or Mo-byle.
