When it comes to mispronouncing names, leave it to
Ohio with such shining examples as Bellefontaine,
pronounced as bell fountain, or Versailles (ver
sails).  

Just outside the booming metropolis of Trumansburg, NY
is Podunk.  If you can't find Trumansburg on the map,
look a little north of Ithaca on the west side of
Cayuga Lake

Massachusetts has places such as Barnstable, or Lake
Chargoggagaggmanchaugagoggchaunagungamaugg.  Anyone
want to guess the translation of the lake name?  I'll
post it at the bottom (backwards) The lake is commonly
called Lake Webster.  You can tell the visitors to
central Massachusetts when they try to pronounce
Worcester.
