  • In the South, never judge a town name by the way it's spelled. These town names in Mississippi are no exception.

      I worked in the trucking industry and we had a man who worked there could not pronounce Kosciusko. When he had to say it, he would always turn to me and say "Pat, what is the name of that town in Mississippi?"
      And even though I was born in Arkansas, grew up in Tennessee, I now live in Mississippi in a small town that people absolutely CANNOT pronounce correctly. I tell them it is not Uka, Luka but IUKA.....just like it is spelled.
      And Ouachita........well I grew up hearing it pronounced correctly

      Teresa Wise Yep. Between the Native Americans, French, Spanish, and English we have quite the collection of weird town names. (Not just weird pronunciation) There is Picayune, D’Iberville, Hot Coffee, Possumneck, Whynot, Soso, D’Lo, Money, Rolling Fork, and Sweatman.
