We had this discussion at work when it came to Louisville. You’re apparently supposed to say it like Lew-vull otherwise you’re flat out wrong. But I’ve always said Louie-ville because I’m a different southerner I guess. Even my ville is pronounced as a two syllable vee-aul.

@PerfectionOfTheHeart Yeah, when I've been in Louisville .. it seems most often prounounced "Lou-a-vull" though kind of run together.
Your "Lew-vull" is the other I've heard.

@BrandNewMan Yeah, in the south we’re known for cutting as many linguistic corners as we can.
