French ones for sure, Rich! I've always wondered (and am too lazy to look up) how/whether places like St. Louis and Des Moines, for example, got butchered at some point or were always pronounced American-ly.Among the slaughtered names are French ones now pronounced by English speaking Americans in weird ways; such as Des Plaines, Illinois, Beloit, Wisconsin, Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin and my favoriate Botetourt County, Virginia, pronounced (let me try to spell it as pronounced): Bod-da-tot.
