It's the truth!

Lima, Ohio is pronounced like the bean.. just like Lima, Peru is pronounced the other (Spanish) way.

Yes, the CORRECT pronunciation is BLEE-mel, but what is the commonly used pronunciation?

Bluemel is a family name - as I mentioned in my first post, members of the Bluemel family attend my church. If I recall correctly, the Bluemel family donated the land my church sits on.

Pronounced Lano. LAN-o.

There are also some quirks closer to DFW.

Mexia is pronounced MEH-haya or some people say MEH-hair.

Rio Vista is RYE-o Vista

Alvarado is Al-var-AY-doe.

Coppell is Cop-PELL not Coppull.

Palestine is PAL-es-teen not Pal-es-TINE.

Waxahachie is WOCKS-a-hachie not WAX-a-hachie.

Cleburne is CLEE-burn and not Clay-burn.

Lancaster is Lanc-KISS-ter and not LAN-cast-er

Celina is Sill-EYE-na and not Sill-E-na

Bonham in Bon-UM and not Bon-HAM.

The quirks of Texas!

don't forget HELOTES should be "hey-lotus". Given the name by Apache Indians.

Actually, it is pronounced " 'Lotes " by the locals, with a heavy fake Spanish accent!

By the way, how does everyone else pronounce "Greune" here? I hear a lot of people call it "Green," but it should be more like "Grune." At least that is how my German mother said it.

But "Days of Allah" will always be my favorite!

Cheers! M2
