And people who prononuce Missouri with an a at the end. There is a special place in Hell for people who do that. Right next to baby killers.

I thought it was mostly people FROM Missoura who do that.

Yeah, because they already axed you one.

I give agreeance a pass because of the special place it holds for Sucksters.

I really don't care how people pronounce words, so long as I can understand what they mean. Language is about communicating, not making yourself feel
better by putting down other people.

Bilkis, maybe it's old people who say it? I've only ever heard it from older people, but I can't say that I've experienced a large sampling.

I did my undergrad in St. Louis, and I never heard any locals say "Missour-ah". I was told it was used on the KC side of the state, but I never went
over there to find out. People in St. Louis all seemed to say "Missour-ee".

I've decided to add people who pronounce library as lie-berry to the list of shooting victims.

I love watching national news peeps try some of the native american place names around here.
checotah and chatauqua seem to always fuck them up. |

Niche as "nitch" and clique as "click" have always bothered me.
