Oregon or Organ

[Raistlin]

How do you pronounce the state of Oregon in the US? Do you pronounce it "Oregon" (or Ore-eh-gun, or even Ore-eh-gone/gan/ghen) or "Organ" (as in, organ of the body).

The latter is professed to be the correct pronunciation by a decidedly insane person who is objectively wrong.

or

it's 3 syllables.

^gun is correct. Gone is how Wesley said it on the phone, which is just silly.

[noxious.sunshine]

I use the 3 syllable version "Or-eh-gun"


Oregon Trail for old school Mac is the bomb, thouhg.

[Pumpkin]

I say ore-eh-gone.

^gun is correct. Gone is how Wesley said it on the phone, which is just silly.

i agree with this. the word is three syllables, and the last rhymes with gun

also the above was intended as a pun: "or a gun"

According to this insane "Organ" person, every person this unfortunate member has ever met says "Organ."

I now have reason to believe this person lives in a mental asylum.

EDIT: For the record, I say "Or-eh-gun," though Sarah claims I said "gone" the first time I mentioned it (I didn't). Regardless, I maintain that "Or-eh-gone" is more correct than "Or-gan."

I SAY IT WITH TWO SYLLABLES OKAY

And you DID say "gone". I heard you!

[Jiro]

How is there even a debate? It looks pretty straight forward to me. I pronounce it how it is meant to be pronounced, as I know a girl from Oregon and have heard her say it before.

[Laddy]

Or-uh-gen.

Like, come on people.

[Freya]

Organ! It's Or-gan trail. we leave their entrails.

YEEEEEEEEEAH BRING IT IN GIRL
