    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.

    Apparently this web site, unlike others, cannot print the short 'a' mark.
