#14.  Here in IL, of course, with  our Cairo=Kay-ro and Marseilles=Mar-sales,
etc.
but everywhere in the Confederate Diaspora as well, I think.  The rigidly
English pronunciation of non-English spellings (In CA one is beginning to
hear such things as Buena Vista=Beeyuna Vista) springs from a determined
Nativism rather than mere ignorance.
