Most of the time they don't even bother with "New" ...

Or the original, correct pronounciation.

There's a Miami Oklahoma. Except it's pronounced My am uh. And if you say it wrong you will be corrected.

Edit - I'm dumb but the guy below me is not

Miami, Oklahoma is named after the Miami Indians who were originally from the northeastern midwest. places in Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan are named after them because that's where they're from. places in western Missouri/eastern Kansas, or Oklahoma/northern Texas are named after them because they were relocated there

Miami, Florida is named after the unrelated Mayaimi Indians who lived near Lake Okeechobee. the city is at the mouth of the river that begins at the lake

so most places named Miami are not "imitations" of Miami, Florida, and in fact have no relation at all

Good to know and that makes sense. Thank you!

I feel like you can't correct people if you can't even spell it right.

This town is the type of place where I suspect people can't spell at all. I've only been there twice, passing through.

Subreddit Rules

Keep It European

Memes should be relevant to Europe, Europeans, or European culture. Off-topic memes will be removed.

No Hate Speech or Bigotry

Racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, and other forms of hate speech are strictly prohibited. Satire is welcome, but not at the expense of marginalized groups.

No Spam or Self-Promotion

Don’t flood the sub with your own content or links. Participate genuinely.

English Preferred, but Multilingual Welcome

While English is the main language, memes in other European languages are allowed if the humor is clear or a translation is provided.

Be Kind and Constructive

Disagreements happen, but keep discussions civil. Personal attacks, trolling, or harassment will result in bans.
