AKA Fauxreign Pronounciation.

The Real Life section has a ton of all-over-the-place examples. From clear examples of Tropers Tales, to disputed examples, to valid examples. There are some issues with regional pronunciations versus "official" pronunciations: take Nevada or Oregon. The trope itself is about people try to class things up by giving it a foreign-esque pronunciation. Many of the examples seem to fall into No Pronunciation Guide. Thoughts?

I'm willing to resort it and trim it, since I do think it doesn't need an axe.

Trim away. You don't need to ask permission to remove Troper Tales or clearly incorrect examples from a main page. Disputes over examples should be moved to the Discussion page to be settled.

I switched the link to the main title, so we'll get a TRS tag on the article itself.
