We’ve all heard it both ways on national broadcasts. But if you live in Nevada, you’ve probably been at a gathering or some type of event where an out-of-state visitor makes a remark like, “It’s so nice to be here in NevAHda.” You can count on the entire room bursting out with the pronunciation as we know it. It’s nice that we’re finally getting some national attention on the subject.
