We could ask how those Easterners pronounce Oree-gone. That's Oregon.
Then there is Wisk-ahn-sin, the Wisconsin way to pronounce their state. I called it wiss-cohn-sin for years.
Then there are those strange folks in Washington State who pronounce it Warsh-in-ten. They warsh their clothes too.
Then there's Illi-noisah for Illinois.
