It's pretty funny, but it is always people from back east that say it wrong

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

IceCreamButt

Midwest says Oregone as well. That's a lot of people to eject. Can't verify

The very term "midwest" comes from the ignorant easterners (specifically along

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

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