If you ever hear someone say they are a native of New Or-Leans they are lying. Most locals pronounce it more like Narleans. Just one word.

Same with Montgomery, AL. Anyone saying they are a native and life time resident and they say Mont-gomery, they ain't telling the truth. It's Munt-gumry.

If someone every says they are from Miami, Oklahoma and they pronounce Miami like they do in Florida, that are lying big time. It is pronounced Mi-am-a in NE Oklahoma.

The list of cities that the locals pronounce one way and visitors pronounce improperly is long and varied.
