Very cool watch. What's the joke? The reason the UP exists is because Wisconsin is a bunch of pussies?

Three syllables or four?
I mean, that’s how I’ve always pronounced it, and it’s how the park rangers out in Western MD pronounced it too.

The guy in the video used four syllables - An-Tee-AY-Tum

I haven't watched it yet, but is it an AI voice like you hear on some reels? Because I saw one the other day that referenced Nacogdoches, TX (home of Duke killer SFA!) in the funniest way I've ever heard.

Re: Random Cartography
The only acceptable reference to Nacogdoches is home of Clint Dempsey. “Do you know where I’m from, dog?”Giff wrote: Wed Mar 26, 2025 1:47 pm I haven't watched it yet, but is it an AI voice like you hear on some reels?

One of my alltime favorite EPL moments, and I always think about it when Dempsey and Richards are at the desk together. Then then they did this. I know people hate the CBS/Paramount studio team, but it fills my YouTube algorithm with some great clips.

No, that was the only thing that stood out as being really weird. It's An-tee-tam. I didn't even rewind to figure out what he was trying to do, but it was weird.Steve of phpBB wrote: Wed Mar 26, 2025 12:54 pm Have I been pronouncing "Antietam" wrong all my life?

Re: Random Cartography
I listen to a fair amount of AI voiceovers at this point and have learned to get past it. But, no, this is a real dude. He pops on camera during transitions and stuff.Giff wrote: Wed Mar 26, 2025 1:47 pm I haven't watched it yet, but is it an AI voice like you hear on some reels?

Re: Random Cartography
This guy sucks. Not only for his piss-poor pronunciation of Antietam, but because he excluded the true #1 weird state border: the Delaware pimple on New Jersey’s ass.
Re: Random Cartography
I grew up maybe 15 miles from said pimple, and even I never knew about it until a few years ago from a SwampCrash.
