State Adjs.

[Sallie Lemons]

<<<(My father's from Missouri and my mother's from Missoura, but they both
say they're Missourans.)>>>

Nancy:  Is your mother from the southwestern part of Missouri?  My father
always pronounced it Missoura. I've always found that a test of authenticity.
My mother, who was brought up in Cincinnati, Ohio, pronounced the city of her
birth as Cincinnata.
