Don't feel bad. By the way, you do know that they make Karo Syrup in Cairo (or used to), Ga. (their high school football team was known as the syrup makers).
MEMO to Martha Stewart: The home of the fabulous south Georgia sweet Vidalia onion is pronounced VYE DAIL YA, not VEE DOLL YA.
Also, LaFayette (apologies to NOLA) is pronounced Luh FAY et.
Not to mention, (apologies to Texas) Houston County is pronounced
House-ton.
And, last but not least. I have great friends from Vienna, Ga. Prounounced: VYE ENNA (like the sausage), not VEE ENNA (like the lovely city in Italy).
But enough Ga. trivia.
