Flashes of Panic

It is never, ever appropriate to say “MissourAH.”

Hmm. My dad grew up there and he says MissourAH.

I was born and raised in the Bootheel town of New Madrid, Missouri. Up there, I used to say MissourAH. Since I have been living here in St. Louis for 14 years now, I always say MissourEE. To me, MissourEE is the appropiate way of saying.
