Occasionally the heroes at thestreet.com will mispronounce "Manitowoc." Jefferson Ronald and I created this video to help out those intrepid journalists.

Just be grateful you don't have to regularly pronounce Shawano or Oconomowoc.

  • Can I use this for a movie I am making about Manitowoc? It's a documentary on the history of the city. BTW, from one Ron Paul supporter to another, Great job.

  • @usadexter  Sure. & Thanks.

  • Living here in Wisconsin for most of my life, I find it kind of funny hearing people mispronounce such simple names. I'm down in Wau-ke-sha.

  • @DEATHBYFLYINGCDS Each regional of the state has names that trip up interlopers, such as "Shawano" (Shaww'-noe, not Sha-wa-noe) and "Oconomowoc." As long as we remember it's all "o's" we're ok.

    At a conference out of state, someone pegged me as a true Wisconsinite because I pronounced Milwaukee: Miwau'kee, without an emphasis on the "L." Ha! Hadn't even noticed it.

    Thanks the comment.

  • Ah, that's not to say i am not mediocore as well, lol, we are all at the start a project :P It's to say that i don't stop until my stuff is not and shines and rather have my ass kicked alot instead. Bad "quality control" over here and no sense of high expectation whatsoever. Just try enduring our cinema, you'll know what i mean.

  • @usadexter Can you contact me when you're finished? Or even before? I am writing a fictional screenplay and have chosen Manitowoc (County) as the setting. I bored to death with Germany and its mediocricy in storytelling and with WI i feel strangely connected. Of course i will travel there but if you like to share your research or contact informations, no matter how much of it, that would be great.

  • @muzic140 yes

  • @thojyout23 Do you live in Manitowoc cuz i have lived there all my life and i call it Manty also :)

  • @heyerstandards Are you going to the C4L event on the 31st?
