Wid-mur for sure. I think it might be high-time for a second pass at this guide. Widmer, Pittock, and Groening are sure to make the list. Nancy,

I love this article. I am working with some web people in California who pronounced Lake Oswego "Lake Os-way-go". Also, weighing in on the Glisan topic, according to the Oregonian Rose Festival clues for the coin hunt a couple years back, the pronunciation was originally glisten. Thanks for the good read.

As a New YAWKer who drinks COUGHee, I often get a chuckle from my friends down south who buy IN-surance and call the PO-leece when there's trouble. And what about ordering sandwiches?
