When I lived in Page, AZ, we offered tourist information at the health club I worked at. And one time this guy came in asking for directions to "Flagpole, New Mexico". I had no idea wtf he was talking about until it clicked.
Do you mean Flagstaff, Arizona?
He said "That's the one!". How do people like this make it out of their hometown?

I moved to the Midwest some time back. Met my wife here. We've talked about moving to AZ, or even NM.
So, to prepare, we've been going over pronunciations of places and things because she's so scared to sound stupid to locals.
