Trump made a point at the top of his speech to say it is pronounced "Nev-AH-da," but the crowd responded with a few shouts of disagreement, according to reports on the ground.

"Nobody pronounces it the other way," Trump said.

"If you don't say it correctly, and it didn't happen to me, but it happened to a friend of mine, and he was killed."

Twitter users and journalists were quick to point out the error.

"Here is Trump botching 'Nevada' for the umpteenth time. And he mentioned Ohio State football today, too. Very bad," tweeted Jon Ralston, a well-known political journalist based in the state.
