	It's more than just "commonly called" the Ar-Kansas river;
it's the law.  That's right, the Kansas legislature in its infinite
wisdom passed a law requiring said stream to be pronounced Ar-Kansas
within the borders of the sunflower state.  Rather parochial.

	My favorite mispronunciation was one of our own campus DJ's
renaming the LA Dodger's pitcher Fernando "Venezuela".
