arkansas

it came before kansas by 9 states, therefore it should not be viewed as a permutation of kansas. its pronunciation comes from the combination of indian tribe names that make up the state's official name. sure, not many people here know how to pronounce things correctly (they often add syllables and unnecessary plurality), but give them credit where credit is due: pig sooie, woo!

"Whach you do last nigh?"
"Drunk myssef some beeruh"

"Whach you doin' today?"
"Imma goin' to Wal-Marts"
