Welcome aboard.
How do you pronounce Oregon?
It's nice to have you here, if only to learn how to pronounce the name of the 33rd state.
Cheers!

I've also heard a slight variation with the "Ore" in Oreo, with gun on the end.
Most of my family is from Wisconsin, and they all say Or-uh-gone, which always makes me smile, so I never ever correct them.

I'm in the Oregun camp. Heard Or-he-gone plenty too, sure there's countless ways to mispronounce it.houtenziel wrote: ↑Wed Nov 28, 2018 9:37 pmOr-uh-gun is the most commonWhalehead King wrote: ↑Wed Nov 28, 2018 4:28 pm How do you pronounce Oregon?

Welcome aboard! I picked up pipe smoking from my dad, too... and love it! Wish I hadn't wasted so much money in the Army smoking cigs (which I never liked) and tossing butts. I could have had a great looking pipe collection by now.
