And now a very important question. How would you pronounce “Versailles” if you lived in North Versailles? This question is often seen on Pittsburghese quizzes.
And the answer is... Ver-sails.

I passed through there in 2012 and found out that if you pronounce it the French way, you've called yourself an out-of-stater.

I can never remember how to say Dauphin County, and I live in PA.

And the answer is... Ver-sails. That is such a grotesque and sacrilegious distortion that I would support the death penalty for whoever came up with that.
