RE: [DX-CHAT] Desecheo.....more
OK I think that one's been done to death. We have some good ones in England: Bicester ("Biss-ter") and Wymondham ("Win-dum") to name but a couple. However, our friends in the land of leeks and daffodils have some rather better ones. Those who remember the late Denny GW3CDP will no doubt be familiar with the dialect.

Re: [DX-CHAT] Desecheo.....more
One of my favorites is Worcestershire (as in the sauce). The correct pronounciation is, at least here, "Wurst-eh-shure". However, at least one of my kids when very young pronounced it "Wur-chesta-shyster"! I love the way kids tackle long words!
