On this evening's O'Reilly Factor, Geraldo Rivera scolded guest host Eric Bolling for pronouncing the state of Nevada as Ne-VA-da. Condescendingly instructed Rivera: "It's a Spanish word, Ne-VAH-da. Gringo."
There's just one problem. When it comes to pronouncing the name of the state, and not the Spanish word, Bolling was right and Rivera was wrong: "The only acceptable pronunciation of the state is 'Nev-AD-a,' not 'Nev-AH-da.' Pronouncing the state’s name incorrectly can draw ire among residents."--Time magazine.

First thing I learned when I moved to the west coast - it’s NevADah, ColoRADo, and Oregun, not Nevahdah, Colorahdo, and Ora-gone
Rivera is just another liberal who wants to control other people’s speech. He is as dumb as he is annoying. Whenever he comes on, I change the channel to find something worth watching.
Why would anyone watch Fox News? They are no better that CNN or MSNBC. There was a time where I thought they might turn out better, but that was a long time ago.
LOL!
(at least my natural way of wanting to say it is correct in your corner of the world ;-)
