Spoe can
I could be wrong but when I call customers there that seems to be how they say it
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

The more or less original pronunciation was cane, however everyone pronounces it as can. If you really want to let people know you're not from the Pacific Northwest, pronounce Oregon as, Origone, but if you want to pronounce it how it supposed to be pronounced, just say "organ", like a body part.

I know what "organ" it is.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

It's one of those places that people from around it call it one thing and those from other areas call it another.
It's like Lancaster..... Those from out of the region will say it Lan-Can-Ster. Those from the region call it Lan-Kiss-Ter.

Here in NE it's either Norfolk or Norfork. I think it's Norfork to the locals.

Spokane is amateur league. Now pronounce Puyallup.
