Do you say it with four syllables or five?

Loueasyana. Anyone not pronouncing it this way lives North of 10 and should be ridiculed, and then ignored.

I’m aware five is common but it seems like one less syllable rolls off the tongue much easier. Just sayin haha

Anyone who pronounces it with 4 syllables is:

A) From Monroe/Shreveport
B) Doesn't have a college degree
C) Has a dip in right this second
D) Both B & C

I honestly didn't know there was anyone from Louisiana that pronounced it with four syllables. I thought those people only existed elsewhere in the South.





I'm not mad... I'm just disappointed.
