Sorry, guys.  I sw one that I *had* to pipe in on.

This isn't it, but is "td" *really* a legal medial?

>>    pierre                  pi,IER

This is it.  According to the town's mayor (as quoted on a CD "Where in the
World is Carmen Sandiego"), the town's name is pronounced "pir", not
"pi,IEr".  You can't make this stuff up.
