Are the people who say Nevahhda the same people who say Oregone? If so why

10/22/19 2:19pm

Kugmo

Does it also rhyme with Gonzaga or is that pronounced differently?

Cru Jones

So how do you pronounce Los Angeles?

Cru Jones

10/23/19 9:13pm

I'll bet you know how. So funny, pronounce it however you want, I don't care.

Mitty

LiveCoug

10/23/19 9:19pm

LiveCoug

10/23/19 9:09pm
