Gonna pick this thread to drop some random trivia. A county near mine is named Montague. Being a good little English Lit nerd, upon moving to Texas I proceeded to pronounce it "Mon Tuh Gyoo" (rhymes with "view"), because in Romeo and Juliet that's the only pronunciation that preserves the meter and rhyme scheme. I was quickly informed that it's "Mon Tayg" (rhymes with "vague"). This is not insane, but it is very annoying.

This pronunciation is very Texas, and hilarious ๐Ÿ˜‚

I'll steal that idea, and the next stray kitten that happens about my door will be named Lord Dirty Mittens
