“ If in doubt about how to pronounce a name in CNY or WNY… especially if it’s a classical name, or the name of a foreign country or city… just pronounce it like an illiterate 19th century farmer would!

Yeah, ok. Go visit “Madrid, New Mexico” and let’s talk later. (But that’s pretty funny, still.)
Had to check and make sure Greenwich — pronounced “green witch” — was in there. Because I’m still getting over the culture/class shock of spending my early youth in upstate NY and my high-school years in a milieu where you were supposed to know how to pronounce Greenwich (as in Connecticut).
