Just call it RDU. It's trendy to call cities after their airport codes.
Yes, and Sioux City is appropriately named...SUX.
Thinking about the Raleigh thing, at first I thought they sounded the same but saying them both over and over I can hear a difference. I think I pronounce it correctly. I do have a hard time with Norfolk. How is that pronounced? Is the "l" silent? The town of the same name where I am from is pronounced Nor-fork, so I get confused. LOL

There are a lot of acceptable pronunciations for that one.
I've heard the first syllable as Nor or Naw and the 2nd as f.u.k or folk.
Most people let the 2nd syllable fall off into nothing and sounds like it's being mumbled.
When I was there last winter it sounded to me like the locals said Nor-fulk but with the L in the second syllable as silently as possible. I found I could not say it exactly the same as I heard it.
LOL...I'm typing all kinds of words into that thing.
My kids found this program online where you can type text and it will read it back.
So they type jibberish into it and then it reads the jibberish...sounds like we have a drunken idiot in the family room sometimes.
