"Hoosiers" --one great movie. Who's yours.

Hey, I didn't know that Missourians were down on people in Indiana. That's where I grew up.

Do ya'll say Mizzooree OR Mizzooruh?? Tell me -- then I'll tell you if you say it right or not.

I say Mizzooree Shasta. But I have a feeling you say Mizzooruh.

Next question: Do you say Loeyville or Lowavul?

[David In Indy]

Well I'd say MIZ-OR-EE ... but then I'm British so what do I know?

So tell me, how would you pronounce Gloucestershire? ... then I'll tell you if you say it right or not!! 

Susie 

I think it's pronounced Glouw-ster-sher, isn't it Susie?

Alex is still Christmas shopping so I can't ask him!

No, buddy -- I say it just like you do!   (That's the right way!)

I say Loeyville.

And I say Ill-uh-noy. Most people around here say Ill-uh-noise! Acccck!! I think that's wrong.

Gloss-ter-sure??

Yeah, I say Ill-uh-noy too Shasta. And don't go to Louisville and pronounce it Louey-ville. They'll kick you out of Kentucky for saying it like that!

New Orleens, New Orlins or Nawlins?

[Shasta542]

New Orlins

[Shasta542]

Well, I've always heard Louey-ville Slugger. haha

[David In Indy]

New Orlins

Yup! That's how I say it too Shasta. I have some relatives in New Orleans, and they all pronounce it Nawilns. And they say Looz-ee-ana instead of Loo-ees-ee-ana.

How would you pronounce this northern Indiana county? Spell out phonetically how you would say it...

Kosciusko

[David In Indy]

Should have waited until Alex got home David!!  Shasta's closest.  It's usually pronounced GLOSS-TER-SHER, or GLOSS-TER-SHEER, or sometimes GLOSS-TER-SHYER.

Susie 


How about .... Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch!? 

Then I said it correctly, didn't I Susie? *David pats himself on the back*

And that second one is a city in Wales, isn't it? And I have nooooooooo idea how to say it!
