Ah -- if I remember my Rochester geography correctly, you were in Chili or Henrietta (or somewhere thereabouts), is that right? I can describe my entire life according to exits off the NYS Thruway (born in Buffalo, grew up in Woodstock/Kingston/Saugerties, educated in Syracuse, currently live/work near Albany).
There are plenty of places to get maple sugar candy around here, including local farms, markets, drugstores, convenience stores, etc. I don't typically see maple candy in supermarkets, but they do carry local maple syrup.
You are correct, Henrietta. I could see the Thruway from my bedroom window at night. But, the real question is... do you know how to pronounce Chili correctly? :w00t:
I went from there to the University of Buffalo for 5 years (no degree) and then started my trek across and around the US to finally land in Tampa.

Hey folks, I could use some help on a question over here, if anyone has any ideas.
Edit: Ignore this post -- I figured it out! Thanks!

Naturally, I assume you don't pronounce it like the food item, so no, I don't know!
Similar question: there's a town near here called Cairo. Can you pronounce that correctly? 😉

I was just remembering one of my favorite cartoons from "The Far Side", Chris. 🙂The comics world lost a great humorist when Gary Larson finally decided to get counseling and therapy.
Amen, we bought my father-in-law the entire Far Side collection for christmas and promptly borrowed them to get our fix 😛

hehe. Well, a little bit of web research and I found the correct way to pronounce "Cairo" (KAY-row), but I'll have to admit to cheating on that one, so no, I didn't know.
If you're visiting Rochester, you can impress the natives by pronouncing Chili's name properly "CHYE-lye". The "i" is pronounced like "eye". My husband always kids me about that one, saying that we don't speak properly. Ah, if he only knew!

I love the Americanized pronunciations - some of the Ohio highlights include Bell-fown-ton (Bellefontaine) and Vur-say-ulz (Versailles)

Nice - Western NY'ers. Hence the Buffalo image on mine. 😉 Living there presently but grew up North of Rochester.

Woot - I knew that one. Thank you Law and Order.

I'm from Illinois. I know how to pronounce K-Row just fine. @=)
August 11, 2010 at 11:24 am
Oh, wait. Here's one.
Pronounce Pana.
August 11, 2010 at 11:36 am
How about Worcester?
If you read German & English the correct pronunciation is, of course:
Vorchester
If you're from Massachusetts though, you'd say:
Woostah
Figure that one out.

Okay, now it's my turn to vent about this Celko person.
http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic967585-392-2.aspx#bm967672
What part of "I figured out my problem" does he NOT understand?!?!?!? :angry:
Granted, I don't know as much as a lot of people on these forums (and I don't pretend to), but nothing pisses me off more than someone insulting my intelligence.

I asked this to several people at the PASS summit last year. No one (other the ex-South African) got it even close to right.
How do you pronounce "Gauteng"?
For extra credit..
How about "Tsitsikamma" (a national park)
And "Augrabies" (another national park)
Finally (easiest) "Nieuwefontein"

One I like from South Africa is Hluhluwe. And yes I had no clue the first time I saw it.
