Alright. For you wise guys, how do you pronounce Mexia?

Have a friend that says he was in Mexia. Went into a local DQ and asked where he was, thinking they would pronounce the town. Answer was: Da Rey Queen.

Well, as long as someone is not mis-pronouncing a name on purpose to be a jerk, what's the big deal.....JMHO.

My father spoke English,Swedish,German,French,Spanish,Italian,Greek and Latin.

Could never pronounce TUCSON, Arizona. He pronounced it TUX ON.

No matter how many times, I told him that we where looking for Tucson, and onlly found ONE SON, and THREE SON, but not TWO SON.

I have a hard time spelling MMiissiippii.

Try pronounsing the town I live in, San Ysidro.

Pronounced EE si dr O

The purpose of this thread was to take a light look at ourselves, not to be taken too seriously.
