Am I alone in liking regional accents for place names? They're an important tool for building a sense of community. If the people of Pecos, New Mexico, or Sequim, Washington, pronounced the town name the way the rest of the country does how would they identify outsiders?
When someone starts expounding on development and management policy for the "will-uh-met" River then we can immediately know to just tune them out.
