There is a town in southern Wisconsin named Oregon that is pronounced like that

New people to the area call the town "Oregun" and native Wisconsinites call the state "Oar-a-gone". They're both wrong.

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?

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
