This goes waaaaay deeper than any of the bar top arguments you can get into over Denver street names. Once you strike out across the Centennial State, simple spats over how you say Acoma, Galapago or Zuni will almost seem quaint. Did we miss one or you have a bone to pick?

Here's one at Denverite about how the attorney general's office is trying to do a better job of serving Colorado's Spanish-speaking fraud victims. The series is another way for us to consider our state and who lives here, but it's also a test balloon and a call for feedback and ideas — do you have a language-related story you think we should know about?

Louisville is pronounced Louieville because it is named after King Louie no matter where he came from!!! The pronouncing Luaville came from Angie Humphreys who was an radio or TV announcer in the distant past I am 77 yrs who decided that she would change this!!!
So that is exactly what happened!!!!!!! The worst locally mispronounced name I know of is Bourbonnais Illinois. I lived there for eight years and cringed every time I heard someone say it. Originally Posted by wolywig. I pronounce it lul-vul, as do the majority of locals here in southern Kentucky.

That's nails on a chalk board, and for all those arguing the correct pronunciation is that, history says the correct pronunciation is by the locals, not what General language declares. Those who think they separate themselves from the ignorant by staunchly refusing to acknowledge the mass pronunciation only further the argument that they are hoighty, probably annoying individuals. In Kentucky, -ville becomes -vul in the typical drawl, and the prefix gets blended into the suffix Russellville becomes Russa-vul, Louisville to Lul-vul, Brownsville to Brownsvul.
Even the most educated doctors that are native to the area still use these pronunciations. If lazy talk annoys you that much, and you are too dense to infer intelligence from somebody's nonverbal cues as much as their grasp of linguistic intricacies, then brother ya ought to head on up to some place like Wisconsin or Canada where you can bust a blood vessel making sure ea-ch sy-lla-ble gets com-plete con-cen-tra-tion or otherwise be misunderstood.
As much as yall try to separate yourselves from the rest of the Commonwealth save Derby weekend of course, when y'all try to do your best Foghorn Leghorn you're still a part of Kentucky, and should try to take in a little of the culture rather than try to blindly steer a state's image in fear of being embarrassed in front of the rest of the country.
