and if the Republicans don't do as well as expected... it will be hilarious to watch him 'splain that.
And they will NOT do as well... you heard it here.

I don't care for CNN much anymore but after listening to Mike Murphy state so positively that Meg was going to win California, it was that or break my monitor.

9. David Gregory is one of the last MSNBC anchors who can't pronounce Nevada correctly ... |
|
The other one is Ed Schultz. Even Joe Scarborough started learning to pronounce our state correctly in 2008. I never thought that would happen. Why do so many eastern talking-heads think they can continue to mispronounce western states like Nevada and Oregon, while laughing at backwards yokels who mispronounce east-of-the-Mississippi states like Illinois? I don't know which is worse, ignorance or arrogance. http://inogolo.com/pronunciation/Nevadahttp://www.gooplusplus.com/xsubmenu-black.php?Nevadahttp://www.gooplusplus.com/xsubmenu-black.php?Nevada">

14. Wrong for both Nevada and Oregon - let me guess, from the East Coast, right? |
|
Click on the image above and click the speaker icon to hear the proper pronounciation. Or try Google's dictionary feature (click on speaker icon): http://www.google.com/dictionary?aq=f&langpair=en|en&q=Nevada&hl=en

11. Not that I like Gregory, but the pronunciation of |
|
Nevada seems to change every 10 years or so.
I guess I pronounce it the old way because that's the way it was pronounced by EVERYONE, including Nevadans, when I was growing up. I'm all for pronouncing names of places correctly. Trust me: I hate hearing my Southern brethren say, "Iz-Rail" for Israel, for example, but, in this instance, you have to admit that the pronunciation of that state has changed quite a bit over the past couple of decades.
And, Oregon? Is there another way to pronounce that now? And I agree about Illinois. Never put the "ess" on it in my life. Of course, I live in Ten-NAH-see. ;)

20. Not according to conventional wisdom. |
|
What I mean is this: every news anchor used to pronounce it the way I do when I was growing up.
I"m not saying it was correct, then. I'm just saying that, to my ear, your way sounds funny (and I say this coming from a state with a Native American name, which is also mispronounced).

19. It "was" Spanish - just like California, Florida, Texas, Montana, & New Mexico - all pronounced ... |
|
differently when using English. BTW, the Spanish pronunciation of Nevada is not Nuh-vah-duh, it is Nay-{b|v}ah-duh You can hear the Spanish pronunciation of Nevada here: http://forvo.com/word/nevada#eshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmUf9FDUOTk

Edited on Tue Nov-02-10 03:38 PM by LVZ
Hey, Oregonians, send a note to Google about their mistake. Inogolo is always a more authoritative site - a web site specifically made for pronunciation. NEVADA: http://inogolo.com/pronunciation/NevadaOREGON: http://inogolo.com/pronunciation/Oregon

Congrats, Ed. I guess David Gregory is the last MSNBC mispronouncing holdout. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmUf9FDUOTk

I have studiously avoided television all day (well, for the last 5 or 6 months, actually). I vow not to turn it on at all. You can check returns all over the internets. Why subject yourself to all that diarrhea of the mouth?

Streaming teh news from a bad place. I did switch to CNN though. It's not much better but a little easier to delegate to background noise. :)
