Never mind Nevada, how do you pronounce Illinois?
(Apparently the local name was Inoka, while the Ojibwe called them Ilinwa; the /ll/ is a later change. So /Ilinwa/ would be better than /Eijanwa/ or /Ilinoi/.)

āill-AH-noiseā has been the pronunciation I learned.
But never EVER call āLoo-EE-villeā āLoo-ISS-villeā when in Kentucky. And itās āIP-seh-lan-TEEā NOT āYIP-seh -lan-TEEā, when referring to the hometown of Eastern Michigan University.
Not a locale, but is it āPEE-canā or āpeh-CAHNā?

Ah, Bach.
Iām really getting fed up with the Jasmine Crockett fans. No, just because Greene did something doesnāt make it okay to insult butches. No, just because Trump insulted disabled people doesnāt make it okay to insult disabled people.

Murrill is expected to file a brief arguing the lawsuit is premature, as schools are not yet displaying the religious text. She argues that means the plaintiffs cannot yet show they are harmed.
When asked about the impacts of the law on members of religious minorities, [Republican Gov. Jeff] Landry advised students not to look at the poster.
āI think weāve forgotten in this country that democracy actually means majority rule,ā Landry said.

More complete quote from Landry:
(press representative): Let me ask either of you: for the children who may not believe in God, and see this in the classroom or parents who are upset that it may be in their childās classroom, what -what should they do?
Landry: Well, hereās what I would say. I think weāve forgotten in this country that democracy actually means majority rules. But, some kinda way over the last two decades or so, for whatever reason our government has flipped the script, or the people believe that weāve flipped the script. When you elect people, you elect them by a majority. That majority gets to rule. That does not mean that if you donāt like something, you have the right, to impose that which the majority likes. And so what I would say to those parents, is that, if, if, if those posters in school, and they find them so vulgar, to tell the child not to look at it.
I think the Governor needs to spend a few hundred hours in basic civics classes. And that the end of that statement needs to be thrown in the face of anyone attempting school book bans in Louisiana.

Seriously, itās like the way rich scumbags changed āfree marketā to mean āa few monopoliesā. Majority rule has come to mean ārich scumbags claiming to speak for everyoneā.
