That's just correct though, right?
That's how I've always said them.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Well if we're going down that road, "foyer" is "foy-ay" not "foyerrrr", and "niche" is "neesh" not "nitch".
I didn't know people pronounced them any other way! Although I did run into a lady a few months ago with the last name spelled "Boucher," who looked at me funny when I called her "Mrs. Booo-sheeaaee" and told me that her name is Mrs. Butcher, thank you very much.

I pronounce them "fo-yerrr" and "nitch" if it's a little tucked-away corner of a room, and "neesh" if it's a metaphorical place that one finds themselves in life.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Heh. And Butterfly Boucher's last name rhymes with "sloucher."

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Botetourt County pronounces its name body-tot. I tried pronouncing it as if it were French and no one knew what I meant.

I call that Tennessee Syndrome, Zenkitty. Lafayette, TN is pronounced la-FAY-ett, Milan, TN is MY-lan, Cairo is KAY-row.
I'm betting there are others, but those are the ones I can recall off the top of my head.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
In Colorado, Pueblo is pronounced "Pyu-eb-lo," and Buena Vista is "Byoona Vista," or just "Byoonie."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Look at Europe on the map! It's so great to see people show up in this thread from all over, and to see the map fleshing out. Even if people don't want to speak up, they're appearing.

Obviously not related to Joe Boucher, who posts here but uses your preferred pronunciation.
