I'm originally from a town called Joliet Il. It's pronounced "Joe-lee-et". However it is often mispronounced "Jolly-et". To curb this blatant assault on the English language (and my home-town), the powers that be instituted a $2 fine for each mispronunciation (this was in the early 1900's). Next time I go home I think I might have to trick one of my friends into comitting a mispronunciation. Then I'll call 911 and demand that a citation be issued!
