I had a Native American grandmother, whose name was Featherstone.
Probably true in most locales: towns and other landmarks pronounced one way by the locals, and very differently by others. This
becomes very obvious when a local TV station, say, hires a new
weather forecaster who talks about the temperatures in the
neighboring "tri-state" area and pronounces these places like an
"outsider" would.
