After all, I live in a state with a town named Versailles, pronounced Ver-SALES
There's one of those near Pittsburgh!
IIRC, the town of New Madrid in Missouri, of earthquake fame, is pronounced by the locals as New MAD-rid. A good friend of mine grew up in Kentucky near a place called Hurricane Ridge, pronounced HAR-kan.
