Everyone in Talladega County, Talladega Racetrack, Talladega National Forest and Talladega City and all their neighbors all pronounce the name of their place TallaDIGa.
We have the movie now - probably making fun of southern folks - and all the cast, most of them Yankees, know how to pronounce TallaDIGa. Jay Leno knows how to pronounce TallaDIGa.
Now the local news anchor on the local Montgomery television station just pronounced it TallaDAYga. There is no such place as TallaDAYga. I AM depressed.
I guess we can be proud that the little redheaded boy from Clanton that says "You'll be grinning when you buy from McKinnon." got himself a part in the move. Even he pronounces it TallaDIGa.
Go Figure!!!
