Donald Trump on Wednesday gave a lesson on linguistics to a Nevada crowd on how to pronounce the name of the state — and got it wrong. "NevAHHHHdah," Trump told the crowd in Reno, saying "nobody says it the other way."
The correct way to pronounce the name of the Silver State is "NevADDah." Then-state archivist Guy Rocha told NBC News back in 2008 that the latter way is the correct version to pronounce the state name.
Former State Assemblyman Harry Mortenson in 2010 admitted in a resolution calling for both pronunciations to be accepted that only those outside the state use Trump's version, the Las Vegas Sun reported.
What a condescending POS.
You know it's one thing to mispronounce the name of a city or state, I think we all have done that at some point in our lives, but it is quite another thing to lecture the people of that state about how to pronounce their name, and do it incorrectly.
The guy is a fucking circus clown.
