I thought Nevahda was technically correct even though everyone says Nevadda. Although technically Los Angeles should really be Lohs AN-hel-es.

The state just west of Lake Michigan, is called "SCON-ee". To sound like a native, slur it. In fact, slur everything. |

It is Saint Louis (Lewis) NOT Saint Looey.
How do you pronounce Nacogdoches, Tx? And isn't there a similarly named town in Louisiana. Natchitoches? |

A pick-up truck coming to a built-up area along a highway passed a sign: "Welcome to Mexia, Texas."
The driver looked at the sign, and said, "So this is MEX-see-yuh." The passenger responded, "No. It's Mu-HAY-yuh." The driver and passenger got out at the first available fast food joint. As they entered, the young lady at the counter immediately asked, "What'll ya have?" The driver looked up, and said, "How do you pronounce the name of this place?" The passenger explained that they disagreed over how to pronounce it. The young lady looked up, and in a very slow and deliberate fashion, said, "DAAAAAIIIYYYYRRRRYYYY QQWWAAAAAIIIIIINNNNN." |
