Are any of them from Pitsburrow?

The Americans are no better, with Kansas and Arkansas. I wonder what the
reaction would be if a Brit were refer to Ar-Can-Zus while in the USA.

Would be perfectly correct if referring to Arkansas City, in the state
of Kansas. Although, as Wikipedia says, "Very few people from other
states, and even much less from the state of Arkansas, use or have
ever heard the anglicized pronunciation. Because of this, and for the
sake of brevity, Arkansas City is most often referred to as simply Ark
City."
