    Knowing how fond you are of the written word and correct pronunciation: I thought you should be aware of this. There is a right way and a wrong way to pronounce Oklahoma The Proper Way is: OKLA...HOMA

    (There's a pause between the 'a' and the 'h'.)


    I can prove it. ....

    Apparently there is a pause in other words we didn't know about. I never knew Kern River was promnounced
    "Kern R....iver" either.  Or is that a "W" between the R and the I ?
