How To Pronounce Taneycomo

[Trav]

Oh how times have changed. What do you think another 160 years will prove of us?

Locals call the county TAY-NEE. But most call the lake TAN-EE-CO-MO. Go figure. I've always relied on the predominant local pronunciation of things to give me guidance. For example: Nevada, MO...folks from SWMO ALL say Nuh-VAY-duh instead of Neh-VAH-duh (like the state).

You and I may have duscussed Ozarkian dialects before. Just how is the Spring River at Mammoth Spring actually pronounced by several locals?

Best wishes on the Project Healing Waters event this Tuesaday.

They call it the SPRANG RIVER, Don. But they also say AR-KYEN-SAW. But northern AR is one of those exceptions where I do NOT follow local pronunciation practices. They're just too darned silly.

I just had to cancel the fishing trip for PHWFF due to the impending deluge, floods, and heavy snowstorm we're supposed to get between now and then.

Thanks for the tutorial. It's been many many years since i lived in Arkansas. I'm afraid that if I went back and spoke, they would think I'm from New York City.

I found a law that proscribes the sale and purchase of a legally owned product.

You can own up to an ounce of marijuana in Alaska, but it is illegal to sell, buy, or trade it. Hmmmmmm
