An old shark teaches his son hunting:
Son: Dad, why do you chase the human, instead of killing him instantly?
Dad: Who wants to eat him with all the shit?
We've got a Berlin right here in the Granite State... but it's pronounced "burr'-lynn" (slight emphasis on the first syllable).
People'll look at you like a flatlander if you say it like that German Stadt.
Of course, we also have a small city called Lebanon, but it's pronounced sort of like lebbanun.
Yankees do things like this so that outsiders are easily recognized.
Test it yourself. Fly to Boston* and then take the Logan Express bus out to the northern suburb town of Woburn.
Say the town's name to someone on the bus and see what happens**.
____________ * Bahsten.
** unless, that is, you already know how it is pronounced -- although you'll still probably get an odd reaction.
"Woobu'n" is a rough approximation of the proper pronunciation
I spent some quality time in Le Mars, Iowa doing an Oracle EBS database upgrade for The Blue Bunny Ice Cream Company (who had a lucrative contract making all the novelty ice creams for all the Disney locations in the US).
Available accommodation consisted of a Motel 6 or a Motel 8 which were side my side (can't remember which one I picked).
Well... the railway track ran out the back of either and freight trains ran all the time. I suffered this for a week and then booked something better in Sioux City (about a 40 minute drive away).
Perk of the job was unlimited access to a freezer full of ice cream.
I think the DOS command line is poised to re-enter the mainstream! The only hold-up: MS is still workin' on retro data storage using a 30 cm vinyl disc format.
