Question of the Day

During this recent spate of lousy, freezing, snowy weather many cities in upstate New York have gotten frequent mention. Prominent among these is Syracuse.

I find many talking heads on TV pronounce it as Sarah-cuse. How do you get Sarah- out of something spelled Syra-? It should be pronounced Seer-a-cuse.

Why can't these guys pronounce Syracuse correctly? That's the question of the day.
