There's a suburb northwest of Chicago named Des Plaines,
and people in this area pronounce it "Dez Planes."
I heard that the city planner from Des Plaines
ran into the city planner from Montreal at a conference
a few years ago, and the Montreal city planner said
something like, "I see you're from 'Day Plaw'."
(Pardon my VERY crude approximation of French phonetics).
To which the Des Plaines city manager replied,
"No, Dez Planes!"
