You can sure tell the TV and radio people not from this part of the country- trying to pronounce towns and rivers- incorrectly.
The river that inundated Independence & Coffeyville-KS is pronounced "Ver-dig-ree."
I've called my employer twice to tell them the correct way to say it- but apparently a big gap between the desk phones and the Teleprompter.

I was just going by what I heard it called growing up around my mom's side of the family from east Oklahoma- specifically Tahlequah- Muskogee- Wagoner and Sallisaw areas.
I guess it's like MissourE and MissourUH.
PoTATEo or PoTOTo.
