Hey, you said it right. So many people pronounce it Lee-ma, like Lima, Puru. But it’s really pronounced Lie-ma.
I get you probably meant it as a joke, but still… And of course, a joke someone might learn something from, well, that joke just became 10% better. Or was ruined completely. It can go either way… But it is Lima (Lie-ma), Ohio.
If I had seen the printed name I would use the Peruvian pronunciation not knowing any better. I got the correct one from the article and given the topic felt it was a playful and appropriate tweak of the spelling so others might know too.
