Sorry, I misspoke. It's more like everyone says it like it's two words.
Might also be a problem of Southern pronounciation where it gets a little slurred together - I don't think most people here really articulate the or-ange. It's just Ornge. But when we do the cheer, it's two sharp words "OAR! ANGE!" Sounds weird.
OK, Webster's says "or-ange." But still, the two syllables are said pretty closely together - in normal speech you don't really articulate or------ange.
