I went to a Spanish immersion school, so I was familiar with the pronunciation of Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay - it's pronounced like "mon tay vee day oh." One day I was checking out a map of Minnesota, and I find a town called Montevideo! I pay it a visit just to check it out since it's pretty close, and everyone calls it "monna video." I lost interest pretty quick.
