Maybe this has something to do with accents...?
Just wondering.. I went to visit Missouri earlier in the summer, and honestly felt like a dork because I was the only one there (or so it seemed) that pronounced the name "Missouri" like Mis-sour-i, with an E sound at the end. I was taught that was how to say it?
However, when I actually went to go visit the lovely state, everyone else seemed to pronouce it Mis-sour-a with an A sound in the end
Is that a Missourian thing?
