Holy thread revival I think I just choke on the dust. I didn't like the thread view as it was 9,66*
I actually like old thread revivals as it like reading an old yearbook. I miss one of the first Raleigh mods autumngal and always hits a bit of sadness seeing a member screen name in black letters.

I'll add Camp LeJune
Upon looking up 'Camp Lejeune pronunciation' its goes with Luh-June and probably most common with older NC generation but its Luh-Jern https://www.google.com/webhp?sourcei...+pronunciation

News report on the base pronunciation

It's not even Luh-Jern as much as it's Luh-Zhern with the soft French J sound. The locals in the interview were saying Luh-June while the newscasters were saying Luh-Zhune.

Interestingly, Miami has a prominent road named Le Juene. It runs north to south just east of the Airport and everyone calls it Luh-Zhune.
