I thought there was a separate town in MA named Wooster but the first google comes back with is Worcester's city page. I think people pronounce it "Wor-chester". I was born in Springfield but moved away when I was a wee tot. |

the 's' is silent in Illinois [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, I think some folks will try to insert it as 'Ill-i-noy-is'. I grew up in and went to college in Charleston, SC. Some weird pronunciations (local) there: -Hasell Street - (say "Hazel") -Huger Street - (say "Hugh-gee") -Legare Street - (say "Legree") -Vanderhorst Street - (say "Vandrost") |

I once had a boss named "Richard". He would always get pissed at us and say his name wasn't pronounced, "Dick".
He never got it. |
