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.

Those from out of the region will say it Lan-Can-Ster. Those from the region call it Lan-Kiss-Ter. Millions of trees die every year to print environmentalist publications
