- I think I remember from my years of living in N.O. that they pronounce
- it "Mahnt-Lee-Ahn".... Some of the French names are pronounced in a
- really funny way, considering the fact that it is a French city.
- Carondolet Street is CarondoLET... a student of mine at Tulane,
- named Lebourgeois, prounounced his name LubbaGEEzez..
- --ggs (extra points in *what*.... ???)
