After 8 years in the East, I find it hard not to say, "Colo-rah-do", or "Zi-on"

Kugmo

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

Cru Jones

Cougarrr

10/23/19 9:07pm

What standard? I'm talking about the origin. What do I care, anyway?

Mitty

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 9:09pm
