Havre de Grace
There's a place in NS named Havre Boucher and the locals pronounce it "Harver Bushy."
Other great mangled pronunciations: Port Mouton = Port Ma-TOON, L'ardoise=LORD-ways
There is one place in NS that I have no idea how to pronounce: Necum Teuch. It's just down the road from Ecum Secum (EEK-um SEEK-um).
Atlanta Ponce de Leon = pahnce de lee'-on
Because of where I grew up, I have an aptitude for pronouncing Indian place names and Polish surnames. Ypsilanti and Dowagiac and Wisniewski and Majewski!
"Harver Bushy."
Not sure why, but this strikes me as a Jossverse character name.
It does, doesn't it?
Either someone from Firefly or possibly more cowboy vampires.
My family in Indiana pronounces "Terra Haute" as "tear ho" .
Hey, it's their state... but it always cracks me up.
Isn't it Terre Haute? (Not Terra Huate)
Someone remind me it's too early for lunch, even if I did get to work a half hour earlier than usual.
I'm sorry, Dana, it's right about lunch time for me. I'm going just as soonas I figure out what's wrong with my Unforgettable Fire CD.
But the longer you hold out on lunch, the shorter the afternoon is.

I actually had this experience yesterday, but the afternoon was still not that short.
Now my boss just said we're going out to lunch (for a meeting) at noon, but she's also just starting a meeting, so I'm scared.
