So please respond to my post about the “proper pronunciation” of various place names. And please, justify your response.

The proper pronunciation of all of those place names is whatever the majority of the residents of those places say it is.

Of “those” places?

So Americans should pronounce “Moscow” as “musk-va”?
Americans should pronounce “Montreal” as “moan-ray-al”?
Americans should pronounce “Des Moines” as “day-mwan”?
Americans should pronounce “Los Angeles” as “lowss-angle-ez”?
Americans should pronounce “Sweden” as “svenska”?

I guess they should also prounonce “Detroit” as “day-twa”.
Or “New Orleans” as “noo-velle-or-lee-ahn”.
