I was watching the news and the announcer kept saying "New Or Le Ins" 3 syllables and I was curious if there was anyone else that said it that way!

I was born in Louisiana, but grew up in MA so the Orleans thing is confusing, too!

He schooled me on the right way to say it, which I'm glad about. In MA, there is a town called Orleans (OrLEENZ) so I have to make sure to pronounce each correctly.

It drives me NUTS when people say New OrLEENZ. Just bonkers! My husband is from upstate NY and he said it that way a few times when we were first dating and I was like, "Ok, look. You're REALLY cute and I like you, but this will not work if you keep saying it that way. It's a deal-breaker!" He is now trained to say it correctly, as well as saying "ya'll" and "gonna" and "I'ma" and lots of other fun things Southerners say:) lovehoneybee on "how do you say New Orleans?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-say-new-orleans#post-330235 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 13:14:59 +0000 lovehoneybee 330235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I lived there for about a decade and have always called it New Orlins, MrsTiz on "how do you say New Orleans?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-say-new-orleans#post-330225 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 13:11:45 +0000 MrsTiz 330225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I've heard it two different ways.
