Say what?

Many know of the mispronunciation of Oregon. Sometimes it's incorrectly called, "Ory-gone."

But, what about McMinnville?

McMinneville
When a 1970 grad was a Linfield student, a friend from where the grad grew up in the Puget Sound area called it "McMinnie-ville."

Mackinville
If you dial (toll free) the Microsoft-owned Tell-Me information service, you get another pronunciation: "Mac-in-ville." Want to hear it? Call Tell-Me at 800-555-8355 and say "weather." Then, at the prompt, enter McMinnville's Zip Code, 97128.
