What are some cities that airline employees NEVER pronounce correctly?
Greenville/Spartanburg, South Carolina seem to be hard to pronounce for lots of airline employees. They pronounce them “Greensville” and “Spartansburg”, or other ways. Both names seem pretty easy to me.
What are some other cities that airline employees often mispronounce?
Edited to show the pronunciation error in Spartanburg.

my biggest peeve is not mispronunciation
DCA is “Washington National Airport” — nothing more, nothing less
ok, back to the original thread topic

People should just say the name of the airport (and the official name of DCA does include the name Ronald Reagan) I don’t hear Republicans refuse to call the NYC airport “JFK”. Or at least not yet.
