Eh, frequently the second to last syllable has emphasis in English, and those are local names, so they probably should be pronounced as a local would. Madrid, Alabama is a different place than Madrid, Spain, so it's reasonable for it to have a different pronunciation. Likewise for Lafayette.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
