--- Quote from: Elysiana on 05 May 2011, 11:12 ---Someone I knew when I was pretty young had a bumper sticker that said "ORY-GUN" and she explained that that's how people from Oregon pronounce it. I never did find out if that was true.
After living the first 20 years of my life in Illinois, there isn't much that grates on me more than hearing someone say "ell-ih-noy" or, even worse, "ill-ih-noiz". I do remember there was some local TV personality who combined the two into "ell-ih-noiz" and it made me want to punch him.

We just call 'em "FIBS" up here.

One of the many nice things about being Texan, I suppose... EVERYONE knows how to pronounce Texas.
Making allowances for the immigrants who pronounce it the Spanish way, of course.

Everything I know about Portland, I learned from reading Bike Snob NYC, so assuming a satirical blog is completely accurate, I'm sure I'd be suffocated by the smugness.

And the Alabamans who make it three syllables. TAY-EX-ESS
Method of Madness:
What sucks is that I live in New Jersey. People pronounce Jersey fine, but they seem to think that we don't.
And I gotta be honest, a lot of people don't. Whenever I hear someone with what outsiders consider a "Jersey accent", it causes me pain. (And don't get me started on Jersey Shore, because I'd be useless there. I've never seen it.)
