How should i pronounce the name of your state, city or town?

Asked by charliecompany34 (7810points) August 31st, 2009

if i aint from around these parts, how should i say where you live?

locals seem to be very passionate and defensive about how you pronounce the name of the state or city you happen to be visiting.

is it “looz-anna” or “loozy-anna?” (louisiana).
is it “mizurra” or “mizoori?” (missouri)

what is the correct pronunciation of your state, city, village, town, hamlet or wherever you live? why do the tourists always get it wrong?
