[QUOTE]Originally posted by Bob from MA: [QB] Realizing that some were left hanging after seeing my list of MA towns, I will now try to give the common pronunciations. Billerica: bill-rick'-a Cotuit: kuh-too'-it Haverhill: hay'-ver-ul or even hay'-vrl Leominster: le'-mun-ster or le'-mn-ster (as in the fruit lemon) Oakham: oak-ham (even emphasis on each syllable) Petersham: pee'-ters-ham or pee'-ters-hm (there are people who say peeter-sham) they're wrong!! Tewksbury: tooks'-bry (double o as in look) Waban: wa'-bn (a as in ball) Woburn: woo'-burn (double o as in ooze) I'm open to corrections by other MA residents. I would have used the schwa in some cases, but I don't know off hand how to make it on my Mac. [/QB][/QUOTE]
