Ouch! It hurts my ears to hear people say Shawnee wrong. I heard them say it on E.R. and now there's a commercial that has a guy say Shawnee about five times, he says it wrong every time. They say it like "Donnie" but the emphasis is on the second syllable. It's Shaw-Nee. Part of the problem is that they hire people from another part of the country that can't speak Oklahoman, thinking we won't notice or care. Wrong! We notice, we care. But it might work fairly well for a Tylenol commercial 'cause it gives me a headache.
