▲ 16 ▼ Is Nevada (the state) pronounced "Ne-vaugh-da" or "Neh-VA-da"? (startrek.website) submitted 6 months ago* by IcedRaktajino@startrek.website to c/AskUSA@discuss.online 15 comments fedilink hide all child comments I'm watching Veep and everyone pronounces it "Ne-vaugh-da" (which is how I pronounce it) but Kent insists on correcting everyone with "Ne-VA-duh". Who's correct? Is the show trying to correct a common mis-pronounciation or is Kent just full of shit?
