I got corrected..lol

The other day I flagged a tryke and told the driver I was going to Bethel, one of the popular hotels in the city. I always make sure my "E's" and "th" are properly enunciated when I say "Bethel." But the driver corrected me. When I said "Bethel," he instantly corrected me when he said matter-of-factly--Bitil. Oh.
