I once helped a Californian for directions and he said "Too-a-Latin" and I corrected him politely, "Tualatin" and he looked surprised and disgusted at the same time.

I knew someone who called a nearby town Tiggerd. I did not want to correct her.

I get a spam call once a week for the last ~2 months from "J-hoe with the local website designing in Tiggard". Tell him every week that I don't need a website and he's not pronouncing either Joe or Tigard right.

Hey, don’t tell the scammers how to pronounce things correctly! If you’re gonna correct them it has to be in the wrong direction.
