Yes. Exactly.

It's the definition of being an arrogant ignorant outsider to condescend to how people pronounce their own damn family names, counties, towns, etc dot dot dot dot dot dot from 2017 when you aren't even a part of that family, county, town, etc. And have no clue about the history of that pronunciation. Or even a basic understanding of etymology and that all words, every got dammed one of them evolves through time from somewhere continuing as we speak.

This is the yankee busy-body instinct (not limited to only yankees) personified to a T. dot dot dot Your way is right, theirs is wrong. Why? Because you say so, from far away. History heritage truth and tradition be damned. dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot so pathetic and gross.
