bad american pronunciations of (european) loanwords

[Kalahari Inkantation]

could be names, towns or other nouns

for example, did you know our very own kaz likely pronounces 'prague' like 'prayg'

i'm gonna make you guys scream

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Prague,_Minnesota

New Prague /ˈnju� ˈpreɪɡ/ NEW PRAYG^[5]

also, doesn't necessarily have to be european

for example, i mispronounced 'oregon' similar to 'polygon' for years

and that's practically an american word so i have even less of an excuse

don't get me started on polish names

poor poland
