How do you pronounce "Oklahoma"???
How do YOU pronounce Oklahoma ? Do you think it's correct?
Well - there is a right way and a wrong way to pronounce Oklahoma.
If you say "OK...LAHOMA" - you're WRONG.
The proper way is to say "OKLA...HOMA" - there's a gap between the 'a' and the 'h'.
Need proof? See the attached pic.
You learn something new here every day.

I didn't think the Arbuckles were that big, not that they separated Oklahoma that well...

After looking at that picture, are you sure it is not OklaIhoma? There definitely appears to be a dark capital "I" in the middle.
