Those on board were taken to a hospital, officials said, and three of them were transported to a burn center. Radio transmissions indicated the pilot reported an “open door” just before the crash.
LOL, the AI actually read it correctly. I grew up in that area, and remember all the face-palming when some new talking head would join local news and butcher the pronunciation, on the air. I wonder if anyone’s ever done a supercut of it…
I’ve always been annoyed about how DuBois, Pennsylvania is pronounced. Everyone I knew would say “Dew-Boys”. Uh, okay. I mean, people with that last name must facepalm all the time over that.
I mean, I know most people would just call the Schuylkill Express the Surekill Express as a joke, but even if they didn’t, I guess the usual pronunciation approximates how it was said in Dutch (I guess?) - skool-kil. Also, it’s not a common last name that I know of. DuBois, on the other hand…
PA has its share of oddness…Intercourse, PA, Blue Ball, PA, and Middlesex township…all the things named Beaver around State College…
But it’s really just a Pennsylvanian thing. There’s Lancasters in Ohio and California that are pronounced"LAN-caster." I think it’s because there was significant German population in Pennsylvania since before the Revolution.
Here’s a non-paywalled local news site
And in PA it’s pronounced “LANK-ister” and not “LAN-caster”

You guys complain about names like “Worcestershire” and then take a much simpler British city name and pronounce it nonsensically. Why so spiteful?

You should look up how we pronounce Worcester, Massachusetts
I can’t imagine how the pronunciation could be any worster.
Because you taxed our tea.

If in doubt, always blame the Germans.
