This reminds me of a fragment from a Dutch TV show where the host asks a kid whether "ananas" in English is pronounced "a-nanas" or "ana-nas". Kids answers "a-nanas", host goes: "Wrong! It is pineapple!" Classic (https://youtu.be/OBrAcIl4nmw?si=Xx9j6DJywfQkXTeJ)

There’s a related joke about whether the capital of Kentucky is pronounced loo-EE-ville or loo-ISS-ville. Actual: Frankfort.

(Actual for the other city: something more like loo-uh-ville.)

loo-uh-vul

lull-vull
