I always thought of Joachim as "Wah-keem", too, because of Joaquin Andujar, pitcher of the St. Louis Cardinals! lol I will weigh in on the Miz zur ree pronunciation of Missouri. That is how I've always said it, even though it aids in a favorite joke of Illinois people. My eldest sister lives in Illinois and some of her friends laugh when told I'm from Missouri and say, "Ah, the state of Misery?" Which reminds me, I used to say Ella Noise for Illinois, instead of Ella Noy.

As list administrator, I would request that you all limit any further discussions as to pronunciations to names and places connected to St. Francois County only. Thanks! B. Warner

Then there is the nice little community northwest of the Lake of the Ozarks, Versailles, which the native s pronounce "ver-sails" and not "ver-sigh" -- John.

I, too, appreciate all of the insights into the pronunciations of all of the towns in Missouri. I was born in St. Louis, family lived in Ironton, but moved to California in 1952. I still have lots of family members in Missouri, and am never sure as to how to pronounce some of the names of the towns.

Our State itself is called by two different versions that I know of, could be more. Missouri's correct pronounciation should be Mis-ser-ee but the area that I live in and many others say Mis-ser-ah, go figure. My family and I were on a public bus in San Diego several years ago and someone ask where we were from and our answer was Mis-ser-ah. The person told us she always thought it was pronounced Mis-ser-ee.
