Gustav fatigue

I'm sick of hearing ...

- "overtopped" --- this isn't even a word.
- "LAH-FIE-ETTE" --- that's not a city in South Central Louisiana. That's Laffy-ette.
- "KOH-kuh-dree" --- that's not where Gustav made landfall. It's Kuh-KOH-DREE, spelled Cocodrie.
- "St. Bernard's Parish" --- St. Bernard Parish. Bernie don't own the thing.
- "St. Mary's Parish" --- St Mary Parish. See above.

I'm sure I'll have more, so stay tuned.
