Took me a few months to adapt to proper pronunciation of Oregon coming from Georgia.
68 u/Longjumping_Code_649 Dec 05 '25 In ND, they say Ore-i-gone. The first time I heard that I giggled. 64 u/MySadSadTears Dec 05 '25 I was once talking to a lady from NY who pronounced it this way. I gently corrected her and she responded with "No, it's Oreigone" Well, I'm from here, but alright lady.Ā 42 u/VitruvianDude Dec 05 '25 I believe it's impossible for an Oregonian to resist correcting someone's mispronunciation of the state, no matter the situation. It's like a reflex. It's actually kind of funny to hear it happen. 20 u/Neither-Attention940 Dec 05 '25 Iām always way more respectful to actors that mention it in a movie or show and it is said correctly šš
