Good one. I just realized that I left "Waxahachie" off my list. Even people who live two towns over struggle with that one.

Yeah, now that you mention it, I've heard "Hoo-ston" as well. Though never in the States.

Laughing! Of course, if you dropped a couple of Londoners in, say, Texas, and handed them a map, I'd love to see them work out "Mexia" and "Megargle," "Abilene" and "Waco," etc. etc.

No, I can see how you thought that, but I really did mean "bewildered," not "amused."

Oh, I know! He was just so fucking LOUD about it.

No clue how I'd missed this till now, but thank you for brightening my afternoon :)
