I'm tickled by place-name shibboleths, like Houston (HOW-ston) in NYC, or Gough (Gawf) in SF. Texas has one in the form of Bexar County. The 'x' is archaic Spanish spelling for modern 'j' (an aspirated 'h' sound). But anglos dropped the soft 'h', and it's just 'bear' now.

People say Austin is an aberration in the State. I hold that it is Texas in its truest form.
