Street names...I wonder how they get butchered so badly...Maybe it reflects the education level of the people who propagate the pronunciation?
I can't imagine a well read person coming up with some of the pronunciations.
What about "Houston"...is it [House-ton] or [Hews-ton]? In Manhattan it's the former, EVERYWHERE else it's the latter. Who's right?
The 'oe' and 'ue' in Koenig and Kuehnle should be pronounced like the umlauted 'o' and 'u' in German right?
