Pronunciation

[Iolaus]

I generally pronounce it like a Yankee would - New Orleens - even though I know better.

To throw a damper in it, THE BIG EASY

I grew up in South Carolina and we always pronouced it N'wawrlins. For us there is no "R" in Charles (It's Chahhhhls) but we kept the "R" in New Orleans. These days I use the same pronunciation but drop the "R" sound.

I don't call it, it calls me....the food, the people, the music, the fun etc...

I love visitng the place and eating, eating, eating

We all have our cross to bear, I suppose! :mrgreen:

I wouldn't do it around a Nawleans native, though...kinda like pronouncing pecan as "peekan" or misprouncing Des Moines (De Moine) around Iowans.

Cheers,
