Hurricane Katrina did not hit Bye-Lock-See

Hurricane Katrina did not hit the city of Bye-LOCK-see, Mississippi. It DID hit the town of Buh-LUCK-see, Mississippi. It's spelled Biloxi. It's pronounced Buh-LUCK-see. Please, Dear God, get it right. These talking heads on television make me sick. Is it too much to ask someone that lives there how to pronounce the name of their town? Isn't it elitist, pretentious, and presumptious to just guess at the pronunciation of a place you're reporting from? Biloxi was the name of an indian tribe that our forefathers so proudly annihilated. Please learn how to pronounce it.
