But if it's a French place, they'll pronounce it wrong.
I grew up near Calais, Barre, and Charlotte, and none of them are pronounced how you'd think.
Fortier pronounced "Forty-er" as in "my fort is more fort-like(fort-y) than your fort".
Ohio: Versailles (locally pronounced vur-sales)
Same in PA, but they get Duquesne right.
Utah: Monticello (Italian, but locally pronounced “monta sell-oh”)
Indiana pronounces their Monticello the same way
They pronounce it like its French but it turns out to be Spanish
There's no right way to pronounce french
Wulle wu kuschee awek mwa?
How do you think we pronounce DeQuindre? Dee-kin-der. How about Livernois? Just add an e at the end and you'll figure it out. Too our credit we somehow pronounce Cadeiux correctly.
