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

instead of "Zi-un". I never caught myself saying, "Ne-vah-da" though. That one is bad.

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

10/22/19 2:19pm

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

Cru Jones

It's whatever the proper Spanish pronunciation is, it's a Spanish word.

That's not the standard.

Cougarrr

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

Mitty

So how do you pronounce Los Angeles?

Cru Jones

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

Mitty

LiveCoug

10/23/19 9:19pm

I don't pronounce either as I would if speaking Spanish. Why would you pronounce one in Spanish and not the other?

LOL. You know that's not how it works

LiveCoug

10/23/19 9:09pm
