I have a pet peeve of when people pronounce Maryland like Mary-Land. It's pronounced like "Marilyn" with a barely there, whisper of a "d" at the end.

I might take you up on that offer to visit. Your town names may be borked, but I loved living in Tennessee anyway. :)

where did you live, out of curiosity? the three grand divisions are practically their own states, I've found

Re: It's that time again (non-fandom confessions)

[kelincihutan]

Near Fayetteville, about an hour directly north of Huntsville. It was the exact center of absolutely nowhere and it was lovely. Stars out every night and a waterfall just off the back of our field... I admit it, I'm a total country mouse. I miss that place.

There's a town called Madrid here that's pronounced MAD-rid, and another called Buena Vista that's pronounced BOO-na Vista.

And the county seat is called Nevada, pronounced Ne-VAY-da.

Well, some place names, you just have to know how to pronounce because they don't follow any real logic (see also: almost all something-shires in Britain).

In Virginia, there are ton of places like that. Most of them named after English places. (Funny that you should mention Britain.) Then coupled with the Virginia accent, yeah, it's not hard to tell who is a native and who is not.

Like;
Norfolk = Naw'fuk
Suffolk = Saw'fuk
Portsmouth = Por'smith

They have a thing with weird pronounciations.

Worcestershire is a gem. ~> woos-tər-shər

Plymouth is something like plimyth/plimuth

Re: It's that time again (non-fandom confessions)

[greenvelvetcake]

In my state, we have a town called Worcester. It's pronounced "wuster."

Re: It's that time again (non-fandom confessions)

[queerwolf]

Yeah, in Atlanta there's a Houston St. and it's pronounced How-ston instead of like the city.

Re: It's that time again (non-fandom confessions)

Or Loughborough.

Re: It's that time again (non-fandom confessions)

[(Anonymous)]

Same with Melbourne; Americans invariably pronounce it Mel-born. It's meant to be Mal-burn Mel-burn or Melb(schwa)n.

Re: It's that time again (non-fandom confessions)

[(Anonymous)]

OT but - please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks the term "schwa" always sounds so very adorable.
