That's too funny. I live just a short drive from there. My wife grew up in the next town over and learned to pronounce that in school.

Was a really big deal in the local town news for awhile that they spelled that wrong.

Think spell check would have caught that? :D :eek:

That's quite a name for a lake! It seems like I would double and triple check the spelling on a job like that and then spell "Lake" wrong...

The Indian name, which means 'The fishing place at the boundaries, the neutral meeting ground', was written with an O at letter 20 in place of a U and an H at letter 38 instead of an N.

phfff even I spotted that one!

Isn't it nice that the spelling error was 'their' fault though!
I'm sure the signmaker had someone sign off on the proof :D
