I say the first when they ask to repeat the name, and the second generally. Could be, though I am guilty of assuming that Roosevelt is such a famous name that people know the spelling as a matter of having been taught who these guys were. Guess not though

Dude.......... DONT turn into an old rightwing asshat, and keep america Beautiful--Keep those ears covered up with some hair!

Me thinks we need to explore the fine line between 'cantankerous old SOB' and 'crusty old Curmudgeon'

Hint: Nobody from New Orleans says, "Nawlins". The closest you'll get is something more like, "Nwahlins". The other one you won't hear from a native is "Nyew Or-Leens."

Man, I'm 26 and already cursing the kids these days. But seriously, what a bunch of ignorant *******s.

In the Point Loma area of San Diego (Sandy Eggo?) there's a fairly major street called Rosecrans. I kept wanting to call it Rosencrantz, because Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead, until I read a book of Civil War history and realized the street is named after Major General William Rosecrans. I consider myself fairly well educated, but we can't know it all.

Oh yeah, he was fighting in the western theater of the war. From Wikipedia:

William Starke Rosecrans (September 6, 1819 – March 11, 1898) was an inventor, coal-oil company executive, diplomat, politician, and United States Army officer. He gained fame for his role as a Union general during the American Civil War. He was the victor at prominent Western Theater battles, but his military career was effectively ended following his disastrous defeat at the Battle of Chickamauga in 1863.

Rosecrans was a graduate of West Point who served as a professor at the academy and in engineering assignments before leaving the Army to pursue a career in civil engineering. At the start of the Civil War, leading troops from Ohio, he achieved early combat success in western Virginia. In 1862 in the Western Theater, he won the battles of Iuka and Corinth while under the command of Maj. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant. His brusque, outspoken manner and willingness to quarrel openly with superiors caused a professional rivalry with Grant (as well as with Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton) that would adversely affect Rosecrans' career.

Given command of the Army of the Cumberland, he fought against Confederate Gen. Braxton Bragg at Stones River, and later outmaneuvered him in the brilliant Tullahoma Campaign, driving the Confederates from Middle Tennessee. His strategic movements then caused Bragg to abandon the critical city of Chattanooga, but Rosecrans' pursuit of Bragg ended during the bloody Battle of Chickamauga, where his unfortunately worded order mistakenly opened a gap in the Union line and Rosecrans and a third of his army were swept from the field. Besieged in Chattanooga, Rosecrans was relieved of command by Grant.

Following his humiliating defeat, Rosecrans was reassigned to command the Department of Missouri, where he opposed Price's Raid.

Me again:

He was also considered as Lincoln's running mate in 64 and later elected to congress.
