Just moved from there in Aug. after 7 years. In the cities it ends in EE. In rural areas it's usually Uh. I called it Misery myself.

MIZZ-OOO-REE in urban areas.
MIZZ-OOO-RAH in rural areas.
If you are just passing thru, it is MISERY.

It's more of an age thing. Younger people say it with a long e, older ones with an "uh".

It's not too bad living here though, but I live about 300 yards from Table Rock Lake, so it's hard for the rest of the state to [censored] that up.
