Subject: RE: Origins: pronunciation of RIO
Next we can debate whether Kansas is right in pronouncing the ArKANSAS river the same as the state...until it actually gets to Arkansas, where it is *usually* pronounced Ar-kan-saw.

I have no problem with switching depending on where I am and the circumstances.

I play "The Ar-kan-saw Traveller", but I used to canoe on the Ar-Kansas river.
