"Seattle" isn't that hard, but yes, i'm ashamed to admit that it does get under my skin.

[InfinateX]

I wouldn't know. People tend to pronounce Windsor correctly. I probabyl wouldn't be mad, but I'd correct them.

Oh, my bad, that is how its said. I was just saying its not hard to mess up.

 

No one really messes it up. There are nicknames though (Clovertucky, clovertrash or cloverhole)

Mel-burn-E. But seriously, if someone pronounced Appleton wrong when actually trying to correctly pronounce it, I'd probably deck them. You know, to knock in some sense.
