It wasn't until the infra guys in my work named some servers after American States and one of them was Arkansas that I realised it was pronounced Arkansaw. Fascinating eh!!

That's "Ar" with an R, not Awkansaw with an Aw.
You'd be surprised how many people in Florida don't realize Flo Rida is Florida.
Whaddup??
See. Every day is a learning day. It's nice to know that Americans talk weird. Everyone always says it about us 😃
I got a good one about a Scott when we were in North England last. It's a long one but funny.
En route to meet my wife at the train station.
Checking train time on my phone, crossing a street.
Scott's are obvious; heavier accent, more curse words, less etiquette, my kinda people. I know what he thought. He thinks I'm a douche bag who can't cross a street without staring at his phone. But when I speak, I got that American voice but not just that, I'm from LA so it's the American voice they hear on TV. Dude it always stops you guys in your tracks, catches people off guard every time like "ah shit, he's American, run!! They carry guns!!"
In his Scottish voice: "Watch wher'da fuck ya goin yea!"
Looks like like you're doing a good enough job for both of us.
He barely walks passed me and stops: "The fuck'ya say'da may??"
Oh now you you don't know fuckin English?!
It was so hard not to laugh!! He stared at me for a second, didn't say anything and walked away but I didn't get but a few steps and laughed my ass off.
Lol, aye. That sounds very Scottish. We are an abrasive bunch!!
Did you know it's pronounced differently in different parts of the US? Where I live it's pronounced Arkansaw like you observed, but farther east like in Kansas for example, they will vehemently defend the pronunciation ArKANSAS.
In Canada, it's "EHCANASAW"
Yikes man. How is anyone supposed to know how to live when it all gets soooo complicated!!
!PIZZA
I don't think it's possible, we should all just give up and blame it on !ARKANSAS
