It annoys the fuck out of me when people say LEANS.

I'm from Wisconsin and I've always said new ore lins it just sounds weird if you say new ore leans

I'm from Texas and I pronounce it the right way.. "New Ore Lins", however most people I know pronounce it "New Ore Leans"

Hi Kathy, I have a song on YouTube - City of New Orleans, @ken170647. I think I got the pronunciation right on it. What do you think?

@ken170647 Yeah, when you use New Orleans in a song or poem, it's permissible to go with the or-LEANS pronunciation for rhyming purposes! Who dat!

If you don't know *why* some people call the crescent city "Nawlins," maybe you shouldn't be making a video *defending* proper pronunciation.

@pingguo2 What I said was I don't know why people are so freaky weird and picky about the pronunciation of New Orleans. Knowing that, do I have your permission to make the video?

@KathyPriceRobinson Of course you have my permission, I was just testing you.
