    For me is a matter of respect, I try to pronounce place names just as I try to pronounce names. If I say them wrong I feel like I’m disrespecting the locals.

    If that makes me pretentious I’ll be a petty removed and mispronounce the names of the ones calling me so. Bastards.

      So, you have more respect for the people who live in a city, who are not part of the conversation, than you do for your conversational partner? That’s weird, dude.
