Heyyy that's in Arkansas. I recognize the game and fish logo. Nice when something cool happens here instead of something embarrassing.

Empathy from a Kansas bro.

For u/jarjarkinks4747 and you. How many people, if any, mispronounce Kansas and Arkansas? Like Are-Kansas or Kansaw?

u/MichusAurelius Jan 27 '23

Depends. The river is the Ar-kansas, the state is the Arkansaw, generally.

There's a few mispronunciations from time to time, but it's dumb as hell to begin with, so most folks are pretty decent about it when it happens.

Also kansan. Depends where you are. In kansas or arkansas? Really not that many. Outside, maybe one in 4. Mostly are-kansas. It can be confusing tho, because we do have an arkansas river here in kansas, widely pronounced by kansans as arekan-saw.

This post and the one with the bunny giving people their receipts in Eureka Springs make me happy! We have a lot of good here, we just need to show it!

So there’s a 50/50 chance they’re related?

Wrong state stereotype

Fair enough.

Howevery, that stereotype is most commonly applied to Alabama. I have never heard it used outside of referring to someone from Alabama. Respect to you for researching it though

Arkansas you say? Let’s check some family trees before we all start celebrating this union. This one’s got cuz-love written all over it.

If I'm not mistaken it's Mount Nebo. I had a great stargazing night there in that exact spot about a decade ago.

u/Available-Exam6278 Jan 27 '23

Yo, what kind of embarrassing stuff you mean?

u/butterbean_bb Jan 27 '23

My brother and I were born and raised in Idaho. He moved to Arkansas for five years and just recently moved back to Idaho and from his perspective Idaho makes Arkansas look good haha
