Whenever people call oregon or-eh-gone I die. I used to watch that Awake show and you could tell they weren't from here really just the way they pronounced it
Tbh I can't even visualize the way u say it in my head. I said it aloud like 3 times and I still don't get it! Imma pull my residency card cause that's the way everyone here ever pronounces it!!
like. arr uh gun i say brooklyn-ization likely occurred because i make most of my O's soft (ah, like octopus) instead of hard (o, like it sounds in the alphabet). forest, coffee, orange are words everybody says hard o's for when i say soft
Ok I'm getting it. I think when people really emphasize that middle syllable in Oregon is when I'm like ahh it hurts my ears! Like if you stress the -ah- part id prob die inside lol. I slightly pronounce the -e- but only ever so slightly
like i said, i do it for basically everything. orange is a classic one people don't believe. ah-rinj, i say, vs oh-rinj or whatever you fucks do
Ok I just said Oregon aloud like 10 times and I say it like Ore-gun? Idek anymore lol it doesn't even sound like a word cause I said it too much
I've also heard people pronounce it as "Ore-AAA-gone" which is just nope nope nope. Those were way out east though where they pronounce everything funny
