Oregon is 3 syllables Archived Message

Now if the second syllable is tremendously shortened so it kind of flows together, I can see that, but it’s definitely 3 syllables. Previous Message Previous Message I’d say there are several acceptable ways to say it and they are subtle variations based enunciation. Previous Message Always 2 syllables and sounds like organ. He says they spot non-locals by all the 3 syllable pronunciations.
