@elaterite@mastoart.social You could conclude that, since almost every conceivable pronunciation is in use, you can pronounce it any way you want. 🙂 However, as you seem to suggest, there is probably one pronunciation that signals that you are "in with the in crowd" of local residents. I lived in Colorado for a while. "Colorado" is a beautiful word, in Spanish. It took me months to learn to say "Kul-ra-duh". Perhaps that was because I was also struggling with the "Pooter River" (Cache la Poudre).
