Reminds me of the guy on CNN who kept mispronouncing Biloxi and after the umpteenth time pronounced it right and said "and stop sending me emails telling me I am pronouncing it wrong"

That's funny. But I would think Geraldo Rivera would know how to pronounce Sabine.

when rajin rita cruised through here last week the reporters were really digging to find wind and rain and it was tough, they found one stretch of hwy 1 in the keys at mm 74 that had standing water on it and they converged on that like cornerbacks on terrell owens.

Spelt is a word. It is a grain, like wheat.

I think someone should publish for the news media a pronunciation guide to the South. It was grating to hear reporters for days, even after being there, calling Biloxi "Beelocksee."

Not just a southern phenomena.

Our local television market (N. MI.) is a dumping ground for newly graduated broadcast journalists. Very few folks from here on the air, and no clue how to pronounce the place names they have occasion to report on.

From our area:

Bois Blanc = "Bob-lo" not "Boys-Blank"
Seul Choix = "Sish-wa" not "Seel-choix"
Presque Isle = "Presk-Eel" not "Preskee-eyel"
Sault Sainte Marie = "Soo Saint Marie" not "Salt Sainty Marie"
Traverse City - Not "Travis" or "Truh-verse", "Trah-verse"
Mackinac/Mackinaw - both pronounced "Mack-i-naw", not Mack-i-nack"
Alanson - "Uh-lan-son" not "Allen-son"

Just a few that come to mind. Still waiting for Wequetonsing or Ocqueoc to make the news here. Could set the bar at a new level for mispronunciation.
