[QUOTE]When I'm feeling silly I say Home Dee pot. Scott rolls his eyes every time. I cannot say Massachusetts to save my life. It's frustrating.

How about Worcester or Gloucester? We have lots of funny names in MA.

[QUOTE]In high school I always was mocked for saying Mounin Dew (Mountain Dew) and <strong>Baygul (Bagel).</strong> I try to say "Mountain Dew" but it comes out "Mown Ten Dew) and annoys me.

uh oh...how else are you supposed to say it?? Please oh please don't say Bahg-gull (as in a shopping "bag"). I used to work at Bruegger's and I promise you it's not Bruegger's Bahgles, but Bruegger's Baygles LOL

YES YES YES! People seem to always find the most inconvenient places to stop and have a conversation. Really, did you have to stop and talk right outside the front doors of the building? Step aside and continue your conversation elsewhere or I will kick you in the taco.
I think I need some anger management classes.

Not sure if anyone else out there is from Michigan, but since we're on the topic of pronunciation...I found this site hilarious. And, unfortunately, I do some of the mispronunciations listed.

I blame my accent on a weird combo of Wisconsin and Virginian accents with a bit of Arabic thrown in

Whooster and glowster (like OW that hurt) right? No? I tried.

I also used to live in Lancaster Va and hated it, because I cannot say Lancaster without it sounding akward.

Close enough, Katie! As least you didn't say War-chester, which is what people usually saym from out of state.

On a completely different note, can I also add that I hate it when parents name their kids something completely ridiculous, just so that their child will have a unique name to reflect their unique personality and be the only one to have it.

Yeah well, with names like:
Catnip
Hotrod
Mistake (Seriously!!)
Ecstasy
and Modesty....there's a reason your child is the only one who has it.

Also, adding a million letters to the spelling of their name or making it 100% phoenetic, doesn't make them any cooler. Ahshuhlea (Ashley) Alackzandurr (Alexander)

or maybe Comfort? Silly names...

I always thought it was Warchester, but then I started dating Dh, who has family in Maine, Conneticut and Mass and informed me of my error

I have a couple--

1. the gland that men have at the base of the bladder is a *prostate* not a *prosTRate*

2. people that hold the elevator door open on a busy Monday morning to exchange gossip, usually relating to their pets or their kids.

Parents contine to let their child or children scream and run amuck (sp?) in public places, more so movie theaters and nice resturants.

I know kids are unpredictable and babies cry, but it annoys the crap out of me when the parents just let them scream and act crazy. I would like to be able to enjoy my movie or meal in peace. I clearly remember being hauled out of public places by my britches for acting a fool.

Michael Jackson's kid is named Blanket. LOL; he probably will need home schooling through college with that name.
