Ah, you're probably right. Much more brittanicus magnus than Rudy.

Years ago, driving through northern Idaho, came upon Lake Pend Oreille, 
which I was foolish enough (being a good Quebecker and all) to pronounce 
properly (something like "pawn dor ay"). Nope. It's "pen der ell" all 
the way out there, even though there's a town called Ponderay. Maybe 
they just don't make the connection. Beautiful country though.

I spent some weeks trekking and camping rough in the Pend Oreille
National Forest in November, 1966. It was called Survival Training for
Air Force Flight Crews. Definitely beautiful country. We didn't meet
any locals, but the Air Force called it pawn dor ay.

That's interesting. I remember stopping at a diner, and mentioning it, 
and getting a blank look, until I pointed at the map, and was corrected. 
Maybe we weren't close enough to the actual place.

Then there's Ker Daleen, which is also in Idaho. And Montpeelyer, in 
Vermont.

i've heard pon-duh-ray, which matches what i'm finding online for how
to pronounce it.

> Then there's Ker Daleen, which is also in Idaho. 

spelled couer d'alene and pronounced core-da-lane. it's also very nice,
but a lot of kkk are there and in neighboring towns.

others include,
couch street in portland, oregon: cooch
houston street in new york city: how-stun
versailles, kentucky: ver-sails
lake chargoggagoggmanchauggauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg: webster lake

We also don't tend to call lieutenants "leftenants". How silly of us! ; )
