I heard he even said Nevada wrong several months ago according to the way 50% of the people in the state say it.

Was he is Iowa when he pronounced it wrong? Because the town of Nevada Iowa is pronounced different than the State of Nevada. The first "a" is a long "a" in the Iowa pronunciation.

Missouri (depending on where you live, it's either "Mizooree" or "Mizoorah") also has a Nevada ("Nah-Vay-dah") and a Versailles ("Ver-sales").
