I had a teacher in high school that pronounced "Indianapolis" without either "a". It was mind numbing and ridiculous.

There is an older guy at work who, when he goes to a game, will sit in "roll" 17. And his poor meatball will "row" across the floor. I'm not kidding, that bugs me. And it's pronounced "wolves", not "woofs"!

My grandma called them the "cotes" today.

I noticed this when I first went back to Indiana from my first extended stay elsewhere. Wrote a little rhyme about it. Goes like 'iss.

They'll tell you now 'n in.
You hear it here 'n air.
The 'th' with which the words begin,
for Hoosiers isn't air.

I should say I'm from west central Indiana, where you 'modoc' when you drive fast. Seems possible 'ats a Illiana thing.

I do hear 'coats' down here in the south a lot. 'Least it sounds that way to my ear.

I swear I think that Phil Simms says "Cotes" about 1/2 the time. Sometimes he pronounces the "L". Other times, not so much.

It is really hard to pronouce a long "O" with the -lts. But he does try really hard to do it.
