<br>We may have talked about this before, but as Donald probably knows, being a fellow Missourian, we also pronounce Versailles, Mo., as /ver-SALES/; Vichy, Mo. as /VI-she/ (rhymes with "fishy"), New Madrid, Mo., as /new MAD-drid/; Pomme de Terre as /PAHM duh tare/; Bonne Terre as /BAHN tare/; and in my house those little sausages were always /VEE-enna/ sausages.
