A story from my time in Pennsylvania.
A couple from one of the Southern States were touring and came across a small town called Ephrata. (Pronounced Effrerta). They got into an argument about how it should be pronounced. The wife suggested they stop somewhere and ask a local resident so the husband pulled off the road into a drive through restaurant. When they collected their order, the husband asked the person at the window how they pronounced the name, and to say it slowly as they had never been there before. The employee replied, "Mac.....don......alds."
