There is a Scottish guy here locally, who delivers from my favorite Chinese restaurant. He was greatly impressed that I pronounced Edinburgh and Glasgow properly.

In southern Ohio, where I am from, there are towns like Patriot (pronounced like the British version PAT-ree-ut, not PAY-tree-it) and Pedro (PEE-dro as opposed to PAY-dro). I don't know why they are like that, but everyone gets it wrong, and no one will correct you.
