Lets say you are from Anahuac (anna-wack), Texas. How many ways do think people would pronounce that? Several months ago on a Texas A&M football website my husband frequents, we came across a thread on a message board about how sports reporters were constantly miss-pronouncing the names of many Texas towns.
Here are a few. What others can you think of?
Hico (high-ko)
Elgin (l ga-n)
Mexia (ma-hey-ah)
Humble (um-ble) No H
Goldthwaite (gold-wathe)
Tell us all the towns you hear miss-pronounced over and over again.
Oh, yeah here is one. The town of Rosenberg is spelled with a berg, but a highway sign on Hwy 36 just outside the town of Bellville says RosenbUrg 60 miles. OOPS!!
Until next time,
JB
