For my two cents I will add Salina, Kansas and Salinas, California, one of
which is
pronounce Saleena, and the othe Sal-I-nas. Which of course led to the age-old
question: Is the capitol of Kansas pronuonced Witchitaw or Wicheeta? A geography
gold star to the "correct" answer.

The correct pronunciation of the capital of Kansas is Tuhpeekuh (Topeka),
where I spent some of my formative years and visited the capitol. My
father went to college in Suhlainuh, to Kansas Wesleyan.
