At my Catholic elementary school, partway through (technically pk-8 and not elementary, but I don't know what else to call it) we picked up a yankee principal who hard JAMd when reading the lunch menu. Whole school of children made fun of her.

I think it's literally the only instance I can think of in which I take the borderline nonsensical stance of "no, frick the dude that invented it, if he wants to be this stupid, it's not his anymore"

My MawMaw was from Gonzales. She pronounced it this way also. So naturally everyone in our family does as well.
