Open post: can I refer to Batavia, NY as “the Tave”? *Not* asking for a friend.

Absolutely not. The only acceptable alternative is "Bah-Tah-Vee-Uh."

Thank you! This is why I asked publicly. Honestly, though, it’d be cool to have a Genesee County/Batavia abbreviation a la “#ROC” so don’t *not* think creatively.../now realizing I’m part of the generation that is killing the English language because we prefer 1 syllable to 3/
