Americans talking about the city in Egypt say "KIE-ro." "Kay-ro" is just that one particular town in IL. There's also a Versailles, KY, pronounced "Ver-SAILS" (like sails on a ship) but when talking about the one in France we'd say more like "Vair-SIGH"

Right but the point is that "Kay-ro" is how the word "Cairo" would be pronounced in an American accent. We know that Americans do have an accent and do pronounce things a certain way when they're saying them in that accent.

Americans also know that the correct way to pronounce the Egyptian city is "Kie-ro", because they're not totally ignorant. But if they didn't know that it was an Egyptian city which had a distinctive foreign pronunciation, they would say it in an American accent as "Kay-ro".

It's beyond ridiculous you seem to think that all Americans would of course pronounce "Cairo" as "Kay-ro" by default. I'm not sure you even understand what American accents are or how they work.

No, the American-accept pronunciation of "Cairo" (the city in Egypt, KYE-ro) sounds different when an American says it than when an Egyptian says it. That's where the American accent would come in.

Cairo, Egypt and Cairo, IL are pronounced like the two different words that are spelled the same but sound different. Like "lead" (the toxic metal) and "lead" (opposite of follow)

Exactly. I'm not sure if American Accent Anon is trolling or just really confused and ignorant. If I see "Cairo" and I'm not sure if it means the city in Egypt or the city in Illinois, I pronounce it "KIE-ro". Because that's how it's pronounced, in an American accent. The city in Illinois is deliberately pronounced differently. It's not an accent.
