At least 25% of my students spelled the state "Illinoise" on a geography of the US quiz that I gave today. Go Sufjan!

Do you pronounce Illinois Ill-i-noise? If so, the kids are already off to a bad start, in my Midwest opinion.

Absolutely not (ill-in-oy). They prob got their spelling from their redneck families' pronunciations.

when i saw "youth of the South" my first inclination, for some reason, was to pronounce "youth" as "yowth."
