    At least pronounce it correctly

    I am from Georgia. Have been here longer than I sometimes care to remember. We are rather funny sometimes, especially when we like people on national tv to pronounce locations correctly!

    Now I love The West Wing. It is custom on that show to be factual, funny, and quick witted! This episode is great, especially the call to the Butterball Hotline. But: Josh pronounces Dekalb county way too many times for me to be happy. Pronouncing the "l" in Dekalb County as if it were not silent is like fingernails on a blackboard! While I know this episode is rather old, it would be great if Sorkin could revise the pronunciation!! If they did that, maybe the Indians would finally win one!

      During the president's call to the Butterball hotline, it is mentioned that the zip code for Fargo, North Dakota is 50504. This is incorrect. The 14 zip codes for Fargo, North Dakota are 58102-58109 and 58121-58126.
