I'd love to hear *that* in the pronounciation of Pittsburgh. :)

And you are right on UNCC in terms of marking the formal abbreviation.

Joe went too far south for college and it made his brain explode.

I've seen/heard some really interesting spellings/pronunciations of Duquesne but considering PennDOT misspelled a road sign for it (!) I guess I shouldn't criticize. For the record, it's doo-kane. Also for the record, the City of Duquesne has nothing to do with Duquesne University and they are not in the same place.

Ha, what pronunciations have you heard?

For local reasons my Alpha Phi Omega chapter (Carnegie-Mellon) and the chapter at Duquesne University did *not* get along.

So even today, occasionally, even thought I know it is doo-kane, I'll say Doo-kwes-nee :)

What he said. Duquoise. Dooken. Doo Queen. They are endless.
