There is a town here in Ohio, Versailles, that they pronounce VUHRR-SAYUHLLES. That drives me fucking insane. There's also a town called Russia that is pronounced "Rooshie".

On the tour of the Campus Martius museum in Marietta, they always tell you the city is named for Marie Antioinette, because apparently Ohio volunteered to take her to keep her from being guillotined or something but the revolutionary government wouldn't turn her over. She sent them a bell as a thank you but got guillotined anyway. At least, that's the story they tell.
