There are two here in Colorado that get me every time having taken Spanish in school...
"Salida" is pronounced "sah-lye-duh" in these parts and Buena Vista is called "Byew-nuh Viss-tah" locally (sometimes shortened to "Byewnee"). I can put aside my AP Spanish class and say these things 'cause that's just how they're said...
...but it will be a cold day in hell before I say "Rye-oh Grand Southern."
