A small Michigan town that straddles the borders of Washtenaw and Monroe counties joins La Jolla, Schenectady and Kissimmee on a notable list released this week by FoxNews.

Milan was named to the Top 10 list of American's most commonly mispronounced towns and cities.

From the City of Milan

As many people near Milan learn - typically after they refer to it Italian-style, or Mi-LAN - the city is pronounced MY-lan.

That pronunciation blunder was enough to land Milan in the number 2 position on the Fox News list.

Number 1 is Spokane. Number 3 is Boerne, Texas. Unclear: why Saline, Michigan - that's Sa-leen not Say-Leen - wasn't the second Washtenaw County city to make the top 10.
