hernesheir commented on the word tooeleite
Local pronunciation of the name of Tooele, Tooele County, UT, is close to "to-WILL-uh", or "tuh-WILL-uh". I can just imagine mineralogists who've never heard of the place that tooeleite was named after have come up with some fantastic pronunciations of this word.
