While driving from school one day, I passed a street called "Oaknoll." Ignore the fact that in the thirteen years of passing this street, I have never noticed it before. After reading it, I re-read it again.
How would you exactly pronounce that? "Oak Knoll?" "Oh Noll?" The "kn" consonant cluster mashed together between "Oa" and "Noll" creates an ambiguous pronunciation. Maybe they should've named it "Sixth street" instead.
