that's awesome. The only one I might have a problem with...Quebec. After 7 years of french, I pronounce it (KAY-BEC) and not the American way (KWA-BEC). Although, I suppose either way you say it, people still know what letter it starts with.
I'm going to use this the next time I'm supposed to spell out my streetname on the phone.
