Bit of trivia: Gov. Elbridge Gerry pronounced his surname “gary,” but the term “gerrymander” is almost always pronounced “jerry.”
I came to post this myself. The fact that we are mispronouncing the term indicates that those using it lack the understanding of its origin. This is especially the case when whack job lefties try to make it sound like we were the ones who started doing it just in the last few election cycles. If you listen to them, you’d think gerrymandering started around the time of the Obama Admin when Dems lost control of the House.
Maybe if we pronounced it correctly, people would realize that gerrymandering has been around pretty much for the entire history of our republic.
