Most common misconception: Illinois has some honest politicians. We don't.
It really annoys me when people pronounce Illinois with an "s" at the end. A national camping group advertised their rally here as "Bring Your Toys to Illinois".
Try living in Oregon...it is Not pronounced "Ore E Gone"....it's "Ore-gun".....
