Oh, no I didn't. I said Glouw instead of Gloss. Damn!! >:(
David In Indy:
I've heard it pronounced before. I think someone pronounced it on the Travel Channel once. God, it was something else to listen to! :laugh:

Kosciusko is pronounced Kaw-see-AH-skoh. (long O at the end). It's a Native American word. I don't know what it means though. We have many Native American words for towns and counties in Indiana; most of them are Delaware, Mohican, Huron and Shawnee words. :)

"The church of St. Mary in the hollow of white hazel trees near the rapid whirlpool by St. Tysilio's of the red cave".

Oh, that's why she can pronounce it then!! I also think I remember seeing that name in the Guiness Book listed as the longest name in the world. I think I may have seen it in there. If it isn't the longest name in the world, I'd hate to see what IS!! :laugh:
