Have you ever looked at the name of a Wisconsin city and said to yourself "What the hell???" Like Oconomowoc or Kaukauna? How about Pewaukee? Oh, and Oregon, Wisconsin is NOT pronounced the same as the state of Oregon. Here's your answer: Misspronouncer! It's a pretty cool site, helping you pronounce things like the name of Madison's Mayor Dave Cieslewicz. No, it's not like it sounds. It's Chess-lev-itch. Seriously. Anyway, check it out. It's kinda cool. Oh, and the best part? It says, right on the top of the cities page, "Please slap anyone who says WESconsin!"
