> Kansas and Arkansas pronunciation

Arkansas was part of the Louisiana Purchase, it was originally named by the French. It is a little surprising the Americans still pronounce it how it was originally named, given how everything between Detroit and New Orleans was named by the French, and for the most part Americans can't pronounce any of it.

I actually got to pull of a "to you two too" in natural conversation. It was great.
