“That means we get to appoint 2 more senators!”

I had a friend from Kentucky, and whenever he traveled around the US, he delighted in challenging people with the following question:

“How do you pronounce the capital of Kentucky? Is it pronouced ‘Lewis-ville’, ‘Lew-ee-ville’ or ‘Lew-vull’?”

People would offer their various guesses. If he were before a large enough group, he would get a vote going to see who could get the proper pronunciation.

For those who don’t already know, the capital of Kentucky is both spelled and pronounced “Frankfort”.
