Hi Group,
        I live in Kansas which derives it's name from
the (pronounced as) Kansaw Indians.  We insist that
the Arkansas River is pronounced Ar-Kansas in this
state only.  We call the state Ar-Kan-Saw and the
river the same if they aren't within the state boundary!
        BTW I'm a native, but call the river Ar-Kan-Saw
wherever I am in the country.
        We also have a street in Wichita named Greenwich.
It is pronounced Green-Wich by most in town!  I insist
on the proper Grin-ich when I reference it.
        Glad it's Friday and the end of the month.
Regards,
Dave

I got to add my two cents to this one!

As most of you know, I came out here to Tulsa, Oklahoma from California
about 5-years ago. One thing that's always puzzled me out here, is why
Kansas is pronounced "Can-sass", but Arkansas is pronounced
"Ark-can-saw"???

Happy Friday!
