Some people don’t pronounce lawyer correctly. They say loyer or something.
The first time I heard someone pronounce lawyer as “law-yer” instead of loy rhymes with boy - er I was so confused.
Isn’t it pronounced like liar? That’s how I pronounce it.

Are you referring to the St. Croix river?
If so, it is never exclusively in Minnesota. It does form most of the border between MN & WI, prior to its volume being stolen by the Mississippi.
No, I meant the lake, Lac La Croix. It’s actually in the boundary waters between Minnesota and Ontario. But regardless it’s pronounced “la-croy” not “la kwah”.
And the beverage company has specified that the beverage is also pronounced “la croy”.
But my mother keeps saying “la kwah”.

As in Florida Quays.
Last night I was laughed at by the kids at church and I realized I had only ever read this name. Zendaya is pronounced Zen-day-uh not Zen-dai-uh. I had always read it as the long I sound so it was funny learning it’s really the long A sound. This has been carrying on for a while because I am a big Spiderman fan so I have known who she was since at least 2017. My daughter also watched her Disney show, but I’m not sure I knew her name back then.
that is what’s good about being Jewish - we have so many dialects and pronunciations that no one comments
I mentioned this thread to my daughter and she mentioned the word Zion. In Utah it is usually pronounced with the stress on the first syllable. It is a bit harsh on my (our) ears when people pronounce it with the stress on the second.
