Scola, you need to make a camouflage cubicle curtain with an empty chair.

Ann, that's a ferret.
With all this pronounciation discussion, I'm surprised nobody has pointed out that there's no such place as New Or-LEENZ. Or-LEENZ Parish, yes. But the city is New OR-lunz, New (or N') AW-lunz, or (for the old school) New OR-lee-unz.
Oh, and I also have only ever heard WAW-keh-shaw for the town where I had my first job.

It's a pretty useful Yankee detector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Somehow, even after I lived there for four years, no one in my family can pronounce New Orleans properly. They all either say New Or-LEENZ or a clearly-jokey N'Awlins. I don't know what's so difficult about New OR-linz, but none of them can remember it.

Hey, Dana, I might be in Houston for work in October, FYI.

Please tell me everyone knows how to pronounce Mojave. As in, three syllables, not two, Mo-HA-ve, not MO-jayve. I knew how to pronounce that before I moved out West, but I've heard many an Easterner use the MO-jayve pronounciation.
