Edinburgh.
I worked at Conde Nast for a while. It's a whole organization of people who are way smarter and hipper than anyone else on the planet. More stylish. More with it. Basically, a better class of human.

I had to tell one of the senior editors—who was working on a story about Scotland—that the name of a certain city wasn't pronounced "Ehdinburg," with a hard "g" at the end.
And she didn't believe me.
Why?
She was too hip to fall for that line of bullshit.

When I was backpacking in Scotland years ago we would listen to people pronounce that city. We thought it really amusing that you could say "bread and butter" with the same drawl [bread n' butta] and it would almost sound the same. It was damn amusing at the time, especially after a few pints.
