some people say car-mull and some say it car-a-mel. it really depends where you are located and how everyone in that area pronounces it.

It's Nev-ah-da, not Nev-aww-da, how the hell did it this start? Seems like everyone who lives a minimum of 3 states away pronounces it like "Nevawda".Darth_Tyrev

Whatever, some say toe-mate-O some sayTah-mot-O. Here in Ohio they pronounce it Nev-a-da or Nev-ah-da. Some people pronunce Reading rade-ing. It's just the way their dialect is.

• Crayon "Crown" (WTF seriously?)
• vitamins "vit-ah-mins" (damn British)
• ....
• add your own!

Then how do you pronounce cake?

I remember when President Bush came to our city in the '04 elections.
