I pronounce "Biloxi" just like it's spelled...Bill - Ox - EE.... This, of couse, sends my husband into a total fit of hysteria, name-calling and finger pointing.

He was born there...grew up just down the road in Gulfport. You should hear the way he pronounces Worcester, though!

He spent 7 years in the Air Force trying to lose his accent. He was mostly sucessful, so now when he really turns it on...it freaks me out! I, of course grew up in the Boston area and yes...a true yankee hails from Boston or New England and does NOT cheer for the Yankees.

By the way, I was 12% Dixie on the advanced test...PHEW!
