I pronounce New Braunfels New Braunsfels because it irritates my New Braunfels in-laws.
It is actually pronounced "New Brunfels". You remove the "a" because it is German...

Are you relaying how you pronounce it or which you believe is correct?
The way I say it is correct.

Too soon.

Also, this thread has made me realize that I say a LOT of things differently at different times. I do most of the ones listed here.

I swear English was my first language!

Growing up in Texas, all soft drinks were called Coke. A couple years after moving to Missouri, I started saying soda. The other day I said pop and had to slap myself.
Except in San Antonio. I grew up in Memphis and every soft drink was a Coke. When I moved to San Antonio freshman year of high school, I noticed everyone called it soda.

I used to laugh every time my dad would say "Walmarts".
Now that I'm an old, I embrace the hell out of it, it's Walmarts.

I've never pronounced "that" as "they". That's a weird one to mix up.

Pear-land or Pearl-and to the non natives.

Kur-ken-dahl as opposed to how it looks for those who know it.

Wo-ter instead water

Coah-fee instead of coffee

Damn stupid brain of mine started thinking and saying "zed" instead of "zee" for the letter Z. I've hung around too many Brits in my life.

I feel like a dirty traitor.
