As long as people are coming to your town to spend money why do you care how they pronounce it? They're trying to fit in AND they're spending money!!! Bitch, bitch, bitch!

Different thing; one's a pronunciation, the other is a turn-of-phrase.

Also, the "Luziana" in your AV reminds me of all of my co-workers from Texas who actually pronounce it that way. Drives me nuts.

the french word for make and do is the same. in french, to shop for groceries is "faire les courses," which translates to english as "make the groceries."
