"Calliope Street" - this just bugs the shite out of me. It makes people from NOLA sound so ignorant.
When I heard the word pronounced ka-LIE-uh-pee the first time I thought the person that said it was the ignorant one.

Voila
The correct pronunciation sounds like "vwa-la". I'd recommend that people who say "walla" should be sent to the guillotine but they'd garble that word too.

It's sad, but in Lafayette it's "le" and "la". Everyone calls the golf community in Broussard "La Triomphe" but it's really Le Triomphe, and these people are supposedly very proud of their French heritage
Same thing here in Baton Rouge with Le Creole restaurant.
Damn people wanting to make everything feminine!

Why is this being mentioned? It's not French. And, if it is necessary to mention, why not also bring up all of the other streets named after Muses that are mispronounced?
