How you say 'Appalachia' and what your feed shows you both come down to where you sit

Desk note: Monexus ran the two Virginia Tech releases as a single desk piece rather than two short items because they describe complementary mechanisms. Wire coverage of the pronunciation study has focused on the "no right way" framing; the feed-bias release has been reported as a standalone algorithmic story. The pairing is Monexus's editorial call.
