Very good. It's about time everyone learns how to pronounce our state name the right way.
Even before I moved here, I knew how to pronounce it.

I should forward this thread to the local news here.

I can't stand them to begin with, but just hearing the anchorwoman pronounce it as "ne-VAH-dah" made me cringe.

Pinkstring, same here. The first time I was ever there, a family friend corrected me... I believe she said something like "if you plan on being a local, you better learn how to say it like a local"
