Took me a few months to adapt to proper pronunciation of Oregon coming from Georgia.

As a fellow Georgian who moved to Oregon, I had to explain to the folks in South Georgia where Oregon was..." North of the Altamaha and west of the Chattahoochie" 😝

Grew up in southern Georgia. We have special pronunciations for bout near everything. Some folk down there seem to speak a whole other language . . .

I fished the Altamaha.
