How to Correctly Pronounce Oklahoma

[ironpeddler]

It turns out I have been mis-pronouncing this wonderful state's name.....a friend of mine from Tulsa sent me this e-mail to explain.


The proper way is:
' Okla . . homa'
(There's a pause between the 'a' and the 'h'.)
See the reason below. This picture should help explain the process.....

There, you learned something today!
This is so educational - I love it!

You should go to Norman to see it for yourself, it's wonderful.

I may root for Kansas, but I was born at Ft. Sill, so I naturally got Sooner Magic running through me!

Well, I'm certainly glad THAT'S been cleared up! :thumbs:

*sigh*

Why is it that the further away from where I live women are, the better they look?

Antarctic babes must be AWESOME!
