I still cringe at my screw up in 6th grade, pronouncing Yosemite as “yoze might.” I had moved from Va to NC, and we were WAY ahead of the NC class when I got there. The teacher was pleasant, but not stellar. Being the jerk I was I corrected her a couple of times.
Needless to say, she joined the students in what seemed like an hour long laugh at my expense when I screwed up Yosemite. I still hate Yosemite Sam to this day.
LOL at the Yoze Might. Years ago while camping at Yosemite, a car pulls over ( it had Pennsylvania plates) and the woman asked us how to get to Yoze Might Falls. Between her accent and Yoze Might , it took us a few seconds to figure it out.
