This part of Indiana I live in is pretty flat. Dull, right? So I figure, why not have a volcano? Now… I get my magic drill machine that can drill as deep as I want it to drill.
If I drill a deep enough hole, say through the crust of the Earth, will it turn into a volcano?

You don’t even want to know how people pronounce Terre Haute where I live.

I hear “Terr Hoot” all the time. Why “hoot?” I have no idea.

And it’s in Vigo county, which is either pronounced Vee-go or Vy-go. I’ve seen Ghostbusters 2, so I know how it’s pronounced
Oddly it’s the same in New Mexico, where people should know better. There’s a town between Santa Fe and Albuquerque called New MAD-rid.

It was a mining town, so I thought that probably it was named/renamed by non-Hispanic Europeans. But why would they call it Madrid? So I have no idea.
