I am from Missouri. I am usually referred to as a Kansan, especially by visiting rock bands and their ilk, as no one really seems to give a shit about this part of the country anyway.

Where is the "uh" in "Missouri"? Huh? Yeah, I didn't think so! (For the record, both "mi-ZOOR-ee" and "mi-ZOOR-uh" are considered official pronunciations. I believe the last poll I saw showed a 50-50 split on how Missourians say it. Based on my 24 years there, "uh" is prevalent outside of St. Louis. Not sure how it is in the KC area.) |
