A few years ago, at a public meeting Dan was attending for work, a woman rose to comment. She had no discernible accent ... except when saying the name of our city, which curiously caused her to become British for just a moment before reverting to Yankdom at the next word.
Alex-ahn-dria. So elegant. So posh. Who wouldn't want to live there?
We've been saying it that way ever since.
