Another “good idea” created by a dumb@$$ DemocRAT.

[ken21]

hannity used to say “nev-odd-a”,

instead of “nev-add-a”,

until corrected by sharron angle.

[mrreaganaut]

I understand: out-of-staters insist on calling Pierre “Pee-AIR” instead of “Peer.”

[edcoil]

So Nevada’s assembly has nothing to do?

[ladyvet]

Yeah, our state has nothing else to worry about....sheesh.

[rabidralph]

I had no idea there was an improper way to say it.

[Deaf Smith]

Why not?

Massachusetts became mass. Arizona is now A-raw-zonia. Missouri? Who knows on that one.

Texas has been hit by someone's PR campaign to be reduced to Tex as in Tex Dot (TXDOT). I have challenged these same carpet baggers to dare call the TXDPS troopers Tex Dips to their face.

[IrishPennant]

Cool...and we can now change Mississippi to Mis’sippi...that’s how everyone down here pronounces it anyway.

He still does. Not only that, he butchers grammar.

[piasa]

In Illinois upstaters say Shee-cah’-goe, downstaters say Shiht’-cah-goe. Wonder why?

[UCANSEE2]

Missouri? Who knows on that one.

There is Miss-uri, Mizzou-ri, and the older, and much more well-known, Misery.

[silentreignofheroes]

Well at least everyone knows how to say Alabama.

[ViLaLuz]

Don’t forget about Lou’siana.

[nkycincinnatikid]

So then, it’s “lost way-gez, nev-add-a” then. Check-a-roo.

[Fiji Hill]

Well at least everyone knows how to say Alabama.

The Wine State's own governor doesn't know how to say, "California."

[Jack Hydrazine]

Nuh-VEE-durh.

Nuh-vuh-duh!

[silentreignofheroes]

LOL,you’re right.

[babyfreep]

The Las Vegas Democrat is working on a resolution for the 2011 legislative session to make the "Ne-VAH-da" pronunciation equally acceptable.

To think he actually gets paid to sit around and come up with this BS...

I live right on the California/Nevada border and you can always tell an outsider by their "Ne-VAH-da" pronunciation. Like the actors on CSI Las Vegas. Drives Nevadans crazy.
