Is Nawlins the proper pronunciation of New Orleans, or just the way a lot of people say it? 
I say it the way the woman in the "Hello" song upthread says it: CAL-gihree. The announcer at the Dome also says it that way - with three syllables and a soft vowel between the g and ree.  He doesn't say "your CAL-gree Flames!"
