Detroit is known for having problems shall we say but can we talk about how the downtown is gorgeous and cool?

Find it interesting how Detroit is pronounced Dee-troyt and not Duh-twoh.

Only God knows.

It's not a french place ffs  :laughing:

It's similar to how in my city we have a street called Dubios and it's not pronounced duh bwoh but it's just duh boys with the s. If you said it the french way to a taxi driver they would have no idea where you are talking about.

I was this cool the whole time.

It was founded by two French men:

How do you pronounce San Jose? I assume hoe-zay and not Joes?

As a Wisconsinite I love hearing people from way out of state try to pronounce Weyauwega or Oconomowoc or Ashwaubenon.

"stressed" is just "desserts" spelled backwards

A very dear and close friend of mine is from Sheboygan County, Wisconsin.

If I hadn't heard him say it, I probably would've mispronounced it. :laughing:
