I speak to people from all over the country at my job and I just got off the phone with an older gentleman who gave me his address and pronounced the state Missurah. I have heard it said this way quite a few times before. Is this typically how it is pronounced by residents?

People in Saint Louis and Kansas City say "miz-OHR-ee." People from "outstate," that is, the rural areas of the state, call it "miz-OHR-uh."
Politicians say it like the people they're talking to.
