I’ve gotten a few emails lately that remind me of the time a student came up to me after a lecture on the New Madrid seismic zone and smugly told me it’s pronounced “Madrid”, like the city. And, here’s the thing… it’s fine for you to correct me but you better be right.

I had to Google this but would it not be unusual for anything in Missouri to be pronounced the way one thinks it might be pronounced based on original pronunciation? Smiles in Cairo.

Uncle Tupelo has a song "New Madrid" - can't confirm if they're pronouncing it right.
"Come on, do what you did, roll me under New Madrid
Shake my baby and please bring her back
Cause death won't even be still, caroms over the landfill
Buries us all in its broken back"

I do feel like people should know that I’m a Taurus before they decide to try to tell me I’m wrong… for their own benefit.
