Why do people keep saying "Bilocksi" instead of Biloxi?

Its pronounced "bi-luxi" It must be the arrogance and self superior attitudes of Northerners (ie, Yankees) and the media.

4. How come people keep misprounouncing Milwaukee?

It's pronounced "M'waukee."

And Pierre, S. Dak. It's "Peer," not "Pee-AIR."

And Berlin, WI. It's "BER-lin," not "Ber-LIN."

And Montevideo, MN. It's "Monte-VID-eo," not "Montevi-DAY-o."

Must be the arrogance and superior attitudes of Southerners and the media.
