Alright. For you wise guys, how do you pronounce Mexia?
Have a friend that says he was in Mexia. Went into a local DQ and asked where he was, thinking they would pronounce the town. Answer was: Da Rey Queen.

My father spoke English,Swedish,German,French,Spanish,Italian,Greek and Latin.
Could never pronounce TUCSON, Arizona. He pronounced it TUX ON.
No matter how many times, I told him that we where looking for Tucson, and onlly found ONE SON, and THREE SON, but not TWO SON.
I have a hard time spelling MMiissiippii.
