How 'bout "Coeur d'Alene"

Thanks pure French, so no problem.

I've heard "Curdylene".

I've heard "Boise" pronounced the French way :-)

Well, it is Idaho ;-)

Canyon de Chelly == "Canyon duh Shay"

Hauppauge, and Poughkeepsie cause problems for some.

Heck, some non-Minnesotans can't even get "Edina" right. It's ee-DYNE-ah. ;-)
(or ee-DYE-nah)

Chaska and Chanhassen are easy, but try Shakopee (SHOCK-uh-pee) or Wayzata
(wye-ZETT-uh).

Cheers!
