    Must be distant relatives of Ohioans who call it "Cincinnatuh". My grandparents always did.

    many from the crappy little burg in northeastern Oklahoma call it Mia-muh, which distinguishes it from the Florida city of somewhat greater renown.

    Actually, everyone in the whole state calls it Miam-uh. It's how you say it.

    Sadly, in the South, the pronunciation difficulties of many extend far beyond "Missouri."

    My uncle was from some small-ass town in Missouri (though I can't remember what it's called) and played at Mizzou. Drafted into the NFL. Has traveled the country.

    Still calls it Missourah.

    This one's easy folks:
    Missouri -- North of I-70.
    Missourah -- South of I-70.
    There you have it.
