Mr. Kerry was taken to task in Wednesday's Las Vegas Review-Journal for mispronouncing Nevada (it's Ne-VAH-da, not Ne-VAD-uh) and its Yucca (he said YOO-kah instead of YUK-ah) Mountain. ''I've got to stop saying Ne-VAD-uh the way they say it in Massachusetts,'' he said the next day. ''Ne-VAH-da.''

  • If he wins, America is doomed. We have truly dumbed down. A current president that bragged about his poor grades in college and a prospect who graduated almost last in his class. WTF!??!

  • What are you talking about? He pronounced it correctly. If you say it the other way, Nevadans will correct you on the spot.

  • It is Ne-VAD-uh, it isn't Ne-VAH-duh.

  • It sounds correct to me.

  • @marksprinkle I only learned about this "controversy" b/d of the Air Show crash. I noticed Anderson Cooper was purposely & forcefully saying Nevada the weird way Nevadans want, sometimes he would slip and say it the normal way & Nevadian on social media were more upset about that then the plane crash. Someone posted a link to NBC segment talking about how to say Nevada. I can't believe a state with #1 unemployement,#1 foreclosure rate and their worried about how rest of America says states name

  • @ubermisogynist Just leave your money on the tables and pay my taxes for me; I won't care how you say it.

  • @dslite804 define "correct"..We don't say Los Angeles the way the Spainish do. You know that it's technically wrong to only call people from the United States "American", I'm sure people from England think everything we say is wrong..

  • @marksprinkle They can correct me and I will not give a flying f****. I will pronounce it the way I learned it and the way everyone else outside of Nevada says it.

  • @TheFoliageCradle Damn Straight. Im from england and Nevada is so much more intresting.

  • Holy crap, you're so dumb. Nevada the way he pronounced it is CORRECT. You uneducated east coast-eners are the ones who pronounce it the wrong way. (Nev-o-duh)
